Air makes the flexible tyre act as a cushion and gives a smoother ride and more importantly air inside the tyre keeps the tyre cooler. I once had a job mooving a trailer with tyres that were filled with silicone (they never went flat) however after doing a couple of killometers at about 20 kilometers per hour one of them disintergrated and burst into flame.

Why some air escapes from tires when you fill air in tires?

If air is escaping from your tires then you have a leak. Repair the leak and no more air will escape. This is not to say you never have to check the air pressure.
