There is, of course the practical answer regarding compasses functioning due to magnetic poles. Much more importantly, however, is the fact that Earth's magnetism creates a magnetic field around our planet which deflects solar winds which would otherwise cause great harm to our planet (think of Mars' surface, and how Mars has a weak ionosphere instead of a true magnetosphere).
