Why do plants absorb blue light?

The maximum output of the sun is in the yellow which is also within the absorption range of chlorophyll. It is this emission/capture intersection that is of the most importance to the plant as that is where the maximum available energy is to be had. All other absorption/reflection aspects of the chemical are of lesser importance and are just what they are. It would be nice if the photochemical of plants was pure black and absorbed all wavelengths but the plant kingdom never evolved such a mixture.
