While Hook is not as major as Emma, Regina, Rumple, or Snow, he is more major than David, Zelena, Belle, and Henry. Because Hook not only is Emma's love interest (which all happens in present day plot), he also has major backstory with Rumple. Finally, he is our main link to the rest of the Peter Pan story. Basically, he is vital to two of the most major characters (Emma and Rumple), as well as being our main connecting point to all the Peter Pan plot (which got quite a bit of focus on this show), which is why I believe he is where I stated as far as importance.
