NO!
No. Walking is tough without it.
Depending on the context depends on the reason. The usual reason is usually to reduce the amount of energy something needs to move.
Normally you would not want to do so. If there was no friction, you would slip right off the bench onto the ground. You need some friction in order to stay in one place.
Because if there is less friction, the road would be very slippery, therefore more dangerous
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.

no, actually many inventions or things work on the basis of friction for example a pen it works on the basis of friction.Anything that would once be in motion would never stop.
Professional bike riders want to reduce friction, because friction is a force of two objects rubbing up against each other, therefore slowing you down.

I am not sure if you would want to decrease the friction on your hands, because in the case of using a screwdriver, for example, the friction causes your hand not to slip. However, in a situation where it may be beneficial to reduce friction, anything from sweaty palms to greasy palms would work. (they reduce the frictional coefficient) As an alternative, since frictional force is F = mu * N, you can also reduce F by reducing N (the normal or perpendicular force). In other words, if you want to decrease the friction, don't hold the piece of equipment as tightly.
Friction always want to retard the motion of a moving object. So friction slows down and finally stops a moving object.
