Black & white film is much more sensitive to differences in contrast than color film, so it's known for being able to capture and highlight detail that would be lost in a color image.
Setting a digital camera to grayscale (or using Photoshop for post-processing, for that matter) does not change anything about the way the image sensor initially reacts to the light, so you don't gain any advantage by doing that. That would be essentially the same as shooting color film, scanning it into the computer, and then converting it to B&W.
