Why might owning the copyright to an artistic work be helpful?

Controlling the copyright to a work makes it much easier to use in a variety of ways.
For example, a theater company putting on, say, "Rent," would need to buy scripts and vocal scores, rent the orchestra sheet music, and pay a fee for each performance based on the size of the audience. All they can do is perform it--nothing else.
But if they instead commission a musical, and stipulate in the commissioning agreement that copyright transfers to the theater company, they can perform it for free, sell audio and video recordings, post audio and video recordings for streaming or download, create a shorter adaptation for school performances and sell recordings of that, and even license it out to others.
Owning the copyright allows the owner to copy, alter, distribute, and perform/the work with no additional licenses or fees; plus, anyone else who wants to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display it needs a license from them, so it has the potential to make money.

How to find artistic foto sites?
If you mean a location to take artistic photos I am not sure. But if you want to find websites for artistic photos you might try searching on the internet. You might Google Modern Art.
Do you patent your greeting card designs?
No, patents only pertain to inventions. "Copyright", on the other hand, protects creative works of original expression, including greeting card designs. Copyright in over 160 countries is free, instantaneous and automatic. If there are inventions included in the greeting card, such as a music player or a recording device, then that portion might be protected by a patent in addition to the copyright of the artistic and literary portions of the card.
Who owns copyright of your photos if disc says copyright obtained?
The phrase "copyright obtained" doesn't give any indication of who copyright might be assigned to.
Where can I get more information on using existing copyrighted works in my own artwork?
Derivative works are complicated and contentious. While reading the copyright law of your country might be helpful, it would be more helpful (and certainly less frustrating) to work directly with an experienced IP attorney.

Anyone who creates an original work is using copyright to protect it.
How can copyright hurt a person?
Generally, it can't. Copyright infringement might be said to hurt the rightsholder, but copyright itself is designed to avoid that.
Can you copyright your design of a caramel apple?
It would have to be considered an artistic work, which would be challenging to defend. If it's a completely revolutionary design, something no one else could possibly have come up with, you might want to pursue a patent, but this can be complicated and expensive.
