They are part of nature. All creatures have their place in the ecosystem. Flies do some good things, like getting rid of waste material after larger creatures have eaten an animal and leave a carcass behind. Flies and other insects feed on the remains. Flies are themselves food for other creatures. Those creatures are in turn food for other creatures and do things that are part of nature. So flies are important, even if people don't like them.
