Linear interpolation is used as a method used in mathematics of constructing a curve that has the best fit to a series of points of data using linear polynomials.
Interpolation in general is a way to determine intermediate values from a set of coordinates. Linear interpolation would be to fit a single linear function to the entire set of coordinates. Piecewise linear interpolation would then be to determine intermediate values from the set of coordinates by fitting linear functions between each set of coordinates. Connect-the-dots so to speak.
What you are asking is not precisely clear, but in general missing data is filled in by a process of interpolation. eg. Linear interpolation is a method of curve fitting using linear polynomials to construct new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.

Suppose you know the density of some (strange) substance at 10oC and 20oC, 125 gm/cm3 and 145 gm/cm3. You want to know its density at, say, 13oC. You could use linear interpolation. To do so, you first find the linear function that satisfies the points (10, 125) and (20, 145). I think it's D=105 + 2t. Now since 13 is between the temperatures for which we have data we can interpolate: 105 + 2(13) = 131 or 131 gm/cm3.
To create an interpolation program using MATLAB, you can use the built-in functions such as interp1 or interp2 for one-dimensional or two-dimensional interpolation, respectively. These functions allow you to specify the input data points and the desired interpolation method (e.g., linear, cubic, spline) to generate interpolated values. You can then use the interpolated values for further analysis or visualization tasks.

Advantages over what? For what? Generally linear interpolation is done because one infers that the relationship between points is linear and/or it is the the easiest kind of interpolation. In the absence of data or theory to help you infer the relationship between points the principle of parsimony suggest that use the simplest that gets the job done - linear.

The process is called interpolation, which applies a computed formula of the line to a given x or y value. (More specifically, it is "linear interpolation".)

spatial interpolation is used in cartography to obtain a 'best guess' value for missing vaues on a map
interpolation, because we are predicting from data in the range used to create the least-squares line.
