For the same reason that it is important for any living things to have them. They may help a species survive environmental threatening environmental changes. Adaptations usually don't happen quickly, and the more advanced a species usually the narrower the range of adaptations that a species has. If another event similar to the one that ended the dinosaurs happened today, humans (for all of our intelligence and technology) would almost certainly die out. Insects and very small animals would likely make it through, as they have done before.

It is unlikely although not impossible that polar bears will be able adapt to the rapid changes affecting their habitat. Possibly within the lifetimes of some people now living, polar bears will be completely gone from the wild, and will live only in zoos.
