If mitosis didn't occur, any part of a living being where cells are destroyed (stomach, kidneys etc) for whatever purpose, would cease to function after a relatively short amount of time (a few years at best, depending on the amount of cells that part normally has). A living being's body parts would also never grow. They would stay the same size since they were born. The only upside is that, without mitosis, cancer wouldn't occur.

No, crossovers do not occur during mitosis. Crossovers, also known as genetic recombination, happen during meiosis, specifically during prophase I.
