Why is it relevant to know when the apostle Peter wrote 2 Peter?

If 2 Peter was written before about 50 CE, there is at least a possibility that it really was written by the apostle Peter. It can then be read keeping in mind that the contents of the epistle very possibly reflect the ideas of Peter and, through him, Jesus. If the epistle was written too late to have come from the apostle Peter, then it may reflect the views of the Christian Church, but only as they might have evolved over the decades since the death of Peter.
In fact, most biblical scholars agree that the Second Epistle of Peter was written between 124 and 150 CE.
