Note that I said historical revelations are important to. It's not like people stopped having revelations after the biblical period (in fact, there are nearly too many to count).

If that is important, then you should be a Mormon by now or whatever comes around the corner. So, why don't you follow Joseph Smith? 

You're lumping belief in revelation together with naivité. The Catholic Church doesn't just accept any testimony of a revelation for fact. There are in fact criteria that need to be met, just like in empericism for one to be accepted.

In my case, I don't accept Joseph Smith's revelations just like I don't accept Muhammed as a prophet. Of course, that doesn't mean that Mormons and Muslims can't hold their believes.
