Uh, the potential energy _is_ the stored field energy.
The total energy of a system of charged particles consists of their
potential energy (as given by their Coulomb interaction) + their
kinetic energy. If you would additionally assume a 'field energy' equal
to the potential energy you would violate energy conservation exactly
by this amount.
