Mosquitoes are harmful because they are vectors for many human diseases. When they bite people to feed on blood they may pick up a disease form the person they bite.

If a mosquito bit you how could it make you sick?

When a mosquito bites you, it injects proteins that inhibit your blood from clotting in the vicinity of the bite. It can then more easily withdraw blood. Some mosquitoes carry one or more infectious biological organisms, and they can inject you with them when they bite you. Malaria is probably the best known of the examples, and there are others like West Nile virus.

There is also the question of whether its brain is that complex, but I leave that to people with more entomological knowledge than I.
