Samurai armour (like all armour) was designed to prevent injuries from various weapons. No warrior was ever perfect and sometimes would let a strike get past their defence, which could easily be lethal. Armour meant a warrior could occasionally make a mistake and not pay so dearly for it. Additionally, the greatest bane of any warrior was the projectile weapon (including long before guns were around), as close combat skill rarely helped against arrows, slingstones, javelins, quarrels or bullets. Armour would provide a real defence against such projectiles as they sought to close in where they could actually fight.
