The right of persons and their possessions to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures has been treated on occasions, particularly in times of war, as if President and his officials can define "unreasonable" to suit themselves.

Yes, it is extremely important. It protects you from having your property searched or taken by the government without a warrant, and the warrant can only be issued based on probable cause, and it must specify exactly what is to be searched and/or taken.

What is is the purpose of the amendment process?

The rather rigorous amendment process, 2/3 of both houses or state legislatures and THEN 3/4 of the states, is to ensure that the Constitution cannot be easily changed from time to time. State Constitutions, on the other hand, are much easier to ammend; as a result, for example, Alabama's Constitution has been amended over 400 times.
