There is no benefit to using a decklink to transfer files from a memory card. A decklink is the video equivalent of a pro audio interface.
The decklink would be for recording directly from a live feed from a studio camera (such as in a broadcast environment) or from a deck (such as capturing from tape rather than from a memory card).
Going in the other direction, if you want a proper full-screen monitor for color correction, a Decklink gives you professional outputs to connect such a display, or to connect your computer to a switcher for broadcast applications.
If you are not working with tape and you are not in a live video environment (broadcast, projecting at events, etc.) then the only thing you might need a decklink for would be connecting a proper video monitor for color grading.
