Firstly, I'd make a distinction between "accurate" and "useful". The bible is neither a history book nor a science book. I'd describe it more than anything as a self help book (ducks).

But I just can't see how rejecting some of it means rejecting the rest of it.
I guess it depends on the difference between the parts you accept and the ones you reject.
What is the difference for you?
