the nose does not help us breath. it's function is to warm, humidify, and filter the air to the lungs. thus said, it is better to breath through the nose for its benefits, rather than mouth breath which provides no protective filtration of the air.

Because they are not actually nostrils nor used for breathing. The two holes on the front of the shark are used for sensing smells, but not for breathing. While the shark swims, water flows through the "nostrils" and along the nasal passage. Inside the nasal passage are folds of skin which are covered in very sensitve sensory cells. These cells enable to shark to "smell" things. For example, a shark can "smell" blood through the water passing into its nostrils, pinpoint the source of the blood and hunt the prey. So, the nostrils are used for "smelling", not breathing.
