That is true, over time all your pages will be indexed. And people don’t want to read through a list of links to find a page they want (they’d rather use a search box). But what matters is WHEN your will be indexed. If your pages get indexed faster, they get more exposure sooner and the sooner you start making money. And this is exactly where site maps help.

The other problem with the given keywords are the words ‘bags’. As you can see, the word bags are used four (4) times. You don’t need to do that, the correct way of putting keywords with bags are: bags, black, red, blue. On that way, search engine will know that your site are offering bags in different colors. Doing keyword stuffing can penalize your site.
