You use a diode in a circuit to make sure that if the power was reversed it would not destroy the components, it can also be used to emit light. Its main use is that it is that positive energy can only enter from one side.

Why a triode cannot be used as a rectifier?

Actually it can be used as a diode, but rarely is. Just connect the grid and plate together and it has been reduced to a diode. There are also certain circuits that use the cathode and grid as a diode, while also obtaining an amplified output on the plate.
