Intimidate =/= Fur Coat. Intimidate debuffs the opponent (which means the debuff stays if you switch) while Fur Coat only works for the ability holder.

Intimidate isn't outclassed by Fur Coat, in fact it's better in many situations, especially doubles and triples.

That's because some Pokemon need their ability to not be shit and some don't
I could equally say that Truant is outclassed by almost every single other ability because most of them don't have drawbacks and Truant is only a drawback.

Water Veil really needs to halve the power of fire moves or something, and Scald.

In addition to what other anons said, there are some (very relevant) non-contact physical moves, like Earthquake and Stone Edge.

Fur Coat halves damage from non-contact Physical moves as well. Fluffy is the ability that's only restricted to contact.
