Druids and Clerics should be the same. But DnD was invented in the 1970s, when the unwashed druggie movement was still quite popular. And thus various hippie silliness is hardwired into the setting.
BTW - Bard started off as subclass of Druid - the musical backup to shamanistic rites - hence the odd mix of Divine and Arcane spells.
