Why is Benedict Arnold important to the revolutionary war?
To put it quite simply, Benedict Arnold was among the United States first defectors. He was a general for the newly founded Continental Army, but later when British General and Commander-in-Chief in North America, with the help of Major John Andre, plotted with Arnold to surrender West Point, a fort held by the Continental Army at the time. The plot was discovered later, though the fort was never surrendered, and George Washington sneaked men into New York in an attempt to kidnap Arnold. Arnold escaped and became a Brigadier-General for the British, leading a force of 1,600 into Richmond, Virginia in a surprise assault, which he followed by ransacking the outlying land of Richmond. Arnold tried to convince the British to adopt a more aggressive strategy, and after repeated requests for command, Arnold was allowed to lead a force of 1,700 into New London, Connecticut. There, they inflicted an estimated $500,000 worth of damage, though at the cost of 1/4 of the British soldiers. After the war, Arnold and his family moved to England, where he lived for the rest of his life, after being denied various postings he requested.

See reference http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history.do?action=Article&id=5422 The British navy won the battle in the sense that it prevailed in sinking or damaging all of Benedict Arnold's ships. Never the less, Arnold never expected to win the battle. He only hoped to delay the British navy there until proper defenses of West Point could be prepared. Arnold also hoped to keep the British navy from sailing up the Hudson River until winter set in and the British could not sail up the river. His delaying action succeeded in stopping the British, even though he lost the battle itself.
