What is the purpose of washing 2-chloro-2-methylbutane with saturated sodium bicarbonate?

I think it depends on the circumstances. In my lab we used NaHCO3 to wash a mixture of n-butyl alcohol and n-butyl bromide. The NaHCO3 washed out the unwanted n-butyl alcohol in order to purify the n-butyl bromide component.
In addition, the salt could be used to neutralize your organic layer.

What is the purpose of the saturated NaCl solution for washing an organic layer why not use deionized water?
The bulk of the water can often be removed by shaking or "washing" the organic layer with saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer. This is because the concentrated salt solution wants to become more dilute and because salts have a stronger attraction to water than to organic solvents. Note: sometimes a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine.
