Respecting privacy is good for clinical outcomes. It makes customers (patients) more confident about getting care and providing full information to their care providers. State privacy laws did not always provide complete protection. More use of electronic records has raised privacy concerns, because of the magnitude of potential data exposures, and the federal law is designed to help. A standard "floor" of federal privacy protections was considered necessary.

Up until HIPAA, there was no federal law preventing doctors or others from freely distributing patient information, sometimes for profit. I should add that this practice was rare -- doctors often feel compelled to maintain patient confidentiality, which most considered critically necessary to healthcare (how can you treat a patient if they can't tell you what's wrong?).
