Why are craters important to space?

Depends on which kind of craters you are thinking about. Craters aren't important as such. But impact craters tell us that not all things in space stays nicely in their expected positions. Some drift around and occasionally collide with planets, causing impact crates and other damage. Volcanic craters tells us that the planet has some seismic activity.

Where did the craters on the moon originate?

Meteors, asteroids and other space junk crashes into the Moon, releasing large amounts of energy. The impact causes the lunar rocks to splash, causing craters.
