I agree that avoiding type-related issues are not a particularly big selling feature. I, however, like typed languages because the tooling tends to be substantially better, as tooling is much easier to build when you have type information available. Tooling makes my job a lot easier, faster, and, in my opinion, results in better code long-term. We're getting much better at building tools for dynamically-typed languages, but there is still a gap.
