Because a combustion engine keeps turning over as long as it's running. If you hadn't got a clutch (or the torque converter in an auto tranny) the engine would have to be stopped everytime the vehicle was stopped.
Also, when you're changing gears you're hooking a turning engine up to parts that aren't turning. If you didn't have a clutch to smooth out that transition it'd get very jerky.
