An animal with jointed legs have greater motility and can run while those without would have a hard time.
Take your legs for example. If we did not have knees, we would have a much harder time walking(and moving in general) and instead of the quasi-falling movement we use for walking now, we would have to swing out legs slightly in circles in order to walk.
Also, jointed legs allow for a type of "cushion" when animals jump. The bending of legs allows use to carry our weight along with the additional pressure when we jump. A single bone doesn't have to be strong enough as the force is dispersed along several bones and other "shock absorbers".
