Refinement is an important point that's often overlooked. There are way many more unknowns in the production of the original title that had to be sorted out and that lets the team focus more on what (they think) is important in the second instance. That doesn't mean sequels are bound to be better, but production is a lot easier, even with raised expectations and all.
Sequels can propel all kinds of the game's aspects to new heights - the obvious example being GTA3. It wouldn't have been what it was if it hadn't been a sequel. Steal the good stuff from wherever you can, even if it's from yourself.
A healthy mix between new and proven IPs is what's needed, sequels play an important role in the development of the genre.
