The Ori are a very real threat to Earth, but they are not the only threat. It makes sense to have a zpm power the defenses in the Antartica base for extra measure. Also, certainly they can find someone else with a strong gene to try and gain much more information from the chair there.
The ships in the Milky Way don't seem even remotely able to hold their own against the Ori ships. It makes sense to have at least one earth vessle with extra protection that a zpm can supply.
ZPMs are a valuable resource with many uses. It would almost be selfish for Atlantis to keep them all. This also is a way to prove the value of Atlantis and why it is worth the cost to those funding it. Also, there is no reason that the team cannot continue their search for more.
