I'm trying to think if Cleric Beast has the effect of preparing you for anything later in the game, and while I can think of a few things, I wonder if it's more that he's a product of the demo. He was the boss that would have been shown off for gameplay purposes, right? And if I recall, people were talking about how much faster and frantic that fight was compared to what they were used to with Dark Souls.

Compared to other Bloodborne bosses, he's not that tough, but the narrow arena and manic attack patterns creates the kind of claustrophobic experience that would make the fight feel harder, especially for someone who is forming their first impressions of the game (and consequently influencing the first impressions of others).
