First, lamp shades diffuse the light. Instead of looking at a bright bare lightbulb, you look at a much larger glowing shade that that bulb illuminates. The shade cuts out some of the light, but the light that you're left with is far more pleasant to look at.
A lamp without a shade casts sharp-edged shadows. If your lamp has a shade, the shadows it casts tend to be soft edged. Again, this makes things look better.
Second, in the old days when lamps that used open flames, a lamp shade would cut down on drafts that could make the flame flicker or even blow it out. A glass "lamp chimney" worked even better, but those were expensive compared to a paper and wire shade.
