The brain is protected by the skull for one main reason. The brain is vital for functioning many parts of the body. If the brain is severely injured, the body could die.

The skull is there for that simple reason--to protect. An accidental smack on the head that usually gets nursed with an 'ow, that hurt, i guess' and some tender rubbing could result in major brain malfunctions or death. The skull is something you don't want to loose! :)
