Why the rating of this card is so high in arena? I understand that it's a good arena card but not exceptional. Recently I found on many tierlists that it is rated higher than other cards that i consider really good
I would take it in a heartbeat over the other cards you listed if offered early on or even as a later pick if you are lacking good 1 or 2 drops. It's a phenomenal early game card and many arena games are won/lost in the early game.

Unless things have changed, Arena is still a tempo game. It's a good Turn 1 play as a 1 drop, plus all the synergy potential makes it not a dead card in your hand in the later game. Not the least bit surprised it's rated high.

Because Paladin right now only has hydrologist as 2, and a heropower that summons a dude. It's very important for them to have a 1 drop which mediates the fact they're spending 2 mana next turn to play a 1/1. Not only is it synergistic with many Paladin cards, it's a one drop that not only trade with many 2 drops aside from 2/3s (which would then lose to 3 health 3 drops).
So I'd probably put this card as almost the best 1 drop. It's better than Argent Squire in plenty of scenarios, and you'd hate to see this card being played turn 1 and your opponent went first.

I guess if this was a world where games were never close little advantages wouldn't matter. The more you play the game the more you realize how having those little advantages can mean the difference between say, lethal to end the game, killing that 8-8 where you otherwise couldn't, and any other number of things.

If you start with it on t1 you will always get more than 1 mana value off of that play. Also, recruit/buff/token synergy being Paladin.
Remember playing Control Shaman with Reincarnate shenanigans? No? It was fun, here's a refresher!
Glacial Shard Sen'jin Shieldmasta Stubborn Gastropod Frost Elemental Stranglethorn Tiger and many others :/
it was offered 3 times in my last draft, i took only one, than i drafted a Sunkeeper Tarim and now i feel stupid xD

So if I find Litj in the first picks of a draft i should choose it over the other cards?
