Unfortunately, I realised that ClearCase does not provide an option to filter out obsolete branches/revisions in the element history.
I originally thought: "If version tree can filter out obsolete branches, why can't history?"
You can still query the status of a branch using 'lstype' command, like in the example below:

cleartool> lstype brtype:common_v13.0.0_integration_20050928 brtype:common_v12.1.2_bugfixes_sgp
28-Sep-2005    leadbeam    branch type "common_v13.0.0_integration_20050928" (obsolete)
02-Jun-2005    hafezas     branch type "common_v12.1.2_bugfixes_sgp" (locked)
cleartool>

So, theoretically, it is possible to query branch status after receiving the history and do the filtering inside the plugin. However, I am not sure whether it's practical.
