Benvolio isn't more important than Mercutio. Benvolio is a good friend to Romeo (Benvolio sort of means 'well-meaning' in street-Italian), but he doesn't make much difference to the plot.
Mercutio picks the fight with Tybalt that turns this from a lovestory into a tragedy.
Benvolio tries to joke Romeo out of his pash on Rosaline, tries to persuade Mercutio not to fight Tybalt, tries to get the Duke not to banish Romeo - but nobody ever listens to Mercutio.
A nice fellow - but not a lot of use to anybody.

This moment highlights Mercutio's playful, yet misguided, perception of his friend's character, ultimately leading to deeper conflict in the story. The irony serves to emphasize the unpredictability of the feud between the Montagues and Capulets, where even those who seek peace can find themselves caught in violence.
