The Lord's Prayer is so well known because it is the prayer directly from God. It is a prayer that is said in churches of multiple denominations, so everyone who goes to church knows it.

Why do we have the Lords prayer?

The Lords Prayer as it is known as is not actually a prayer. It was said by Christ as a lesson on how to pray. Man has taken it upon himself to use it as an actual prayer. In Matthew 6:9 we read "After this manner therefore pray ye:" Manner means "How something is done". In other words in this fashion will you pray. Nowhere does Christ say this is what you must say. That said, the original question is "why do we have it," and the answer to that is: Because Jesus told the disciples they should pray, and they said something along the lines of "Oh, prayer, right, yeah, very good. Um, how do we do that?" and so he provided them with a model prayer. As noted above, he didn't necessarily intend for them to recite it word for word as if it were a magic incantation, though perhaps unsurprisingly it IS an awfully good prayer if you stop and think about what it's saying instead of just rattling it off by rote.

Thisprayer promoted good moral character, provided spiritual training, and helped combat juvenile delinquency. The regents wrote aschool prayer that was non-sectarian or denominational. In fact, it was so bland that it became known as the "to whom it may concernprayer." Here it is: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country."

What kind of prayer is a list of phrases each followed by a repeated response such as hear your prayer?

The kind of prayer you are refering to is "intercessory prayer" with a congregational response. Intercessions are prayers on behalf of others. Since one leader prayers, the congregation responds at certain points with "Hear our prayer" so that they can be involved in the prayer as well. Generally the response is prompted by an agreed upon phrase from the leader such as "Lord, in your mercy..."
