A big part of both the career boost and the intellectual exchange that comes from giving invited talks is all the chatting that you do with researchers at the host institution before and after you give the actual talk...while getting lunch, going out to dinner, taking tours of labs and meeting research groups, etc. If you give the talk remotely you don't get to do that stuff.
