OK there are a several good reasons. First - obvious - a vein or artery has been cut. Now why bleeding is a mixed blessing. First, the blood flow often flushes out a wound cleaning it and preventing infection. Secondly, The blood on the outside once exposed to air forms the patch/scab on the wound to seal it, and again, prevent infection and help it stay closed so it can heal. Now the bad side - deep wounds or large ones generally don't stop bleeding without help from a doctor or someone with medical knowledge. Apply pressure to large fast flowing wounds and keep clean dressings/rags on them until you can get help from a doctor/medic.

Bleeding is considered good for a wound because it cleans the injured area. However, you should not let a wound bleed too much.

What circumstances should you touch an open wound with your fingers?
When possible, you should use a clean dry cloth, even a shirt, scarf, necktie, etc. However, if an artery has been cut, you will likely have to use your bare hand(s) until you can grab or obtain a cloth. Any time a wound bleeds profusely, or the wound is pumping blood (sign of arterial bleed), the wound requires immediate pressure.NOTE: The scalp has a huge supply of blood vessels. So head wounds bleed much more even for minor cuts. But a few minutes of pressure should slow or stop the bleed from a head wound.
