Haploid cells are necessary for meiosis. When a cell goes through meiosis, it effectively ends with four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. When two cells join, the resulting zygote will have the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Example. Human sperm and egg cells are produced through meiosis. Egg cells with 46 chromosomes produce 4 daughter cells, each containing 23 chromosomes (if you are familiar with meiosis, you understand how this happens). When joined with a sperm cell (which also contains 23 chromosomes), they produce a zygote which contains 46 chromosomes (which is the number of a regular person).
If regular diploid cells, containing 46 chromosomes each, joined then the resulting zygote would have 96 chromosomes (46+46). The offspring of those individuals would have 192 chromosomes (96+96), and so on and so forth...That's why haploid cells are important.
