Air makes the flexible tyre act as a cushion and gives a smoother ride and more importantly air inside the tyre keeps the tyre cooler. I once had a job mooving a trailer with tyres that were filled with silicone (they never went flat) however after doing a couple of killometers at about 20 kilometers per hour one of them disintergrated and burst into flame.

If air is escaping from your tires then you have a leak. Repair the leak and no more air will escape. This is not to say you never have to check the air pressure. Tires are made from a porous material and as such will loose a very small amount of air even under the best of circumstances. Check the pressure on a regular basis.
