The male equivalent of a witch is called a "Warlock"; however they are all collectively called Witches; male and female.

Answer

The word Warlock is thought to derive from the Old English wǣrloga meaning "oathbreaker" or "deceiver." It is not an alternative for the term Witch, originating in all likelihood from late middle English Scotland, where witches were termed oath breakers as they broke their oaths with the Christian church. In actuality, practitioners of Witchcraft are correctly termed "Witch" regardless of gender.

Is it important that the witches are female in Macbeth?

Witches tend to be women. In Shakespeare's time, I assume that women were witches since Hecate is a woman who is goddess of witchcraft. I don't believe there's any report of a man being accused of witchcraft and being killed for it.
