Many types of radiation cannot penetrate earth's atmosphere. While this may limit astronomers how does it actually help humans?

Although this hampers astronomers abilities to some extent, it greatly helps the human race by blocking some harmful types of radiation. If all types of radiation from space were allowed to pass through the atmosphere, it is highly unlikely that life forms could exist on Earth.
