Hide and sneak aren't too important, but they're nice to have. They modestly improve the player's quality of life. Neither has any impact on the Cleric's ability to do his primary job. They're completely irrelevant in typical XP groups. If a player doesn't care what race he picks, choosing one which has hide (or hide and sneak both) won't hurt, but those abilities are never so important as to choose a race solely for them when a player likes some other race better.
If I was going to start a Cleric for solo...oh who am I kidding? The only way to win that one is not picking at all. Clerics are pointless for folks who want to mainly solo. At the very least find an enchanter to duo with.
