Someone average in content can teach the material to kids if they know how to reach them and manage a classroom.
I think a big problem we have in education is the fact there are many teachers average in content or worse. Why should someone ever be just average in content and try to teach someone?
Additionally average is scary when you think about it.

I know a ton of people that can teach a group of 14 year olds about cell structure. I know far fewer people who can effectively get a group of 14 year olds to sit still and pay attention to what they are saying for and hour.

The overwhelming majority of teachers all over the world are not experts in their field. I'd say if you're teaching post secondary, it's far more important. The materials in primary and secondary don't require you to be a brilliance scientist to teach science. You need to be able to reach kids with the materials available.
