In all religions, the very authority of the gods ultimately depends on their creation of the world. Creation means we are obliged to the Creator for our very existence, and will more willingly pay homage and obey instructions passed down to us through the priests.
So it is with Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The creation stories are included in scripture so that we are grateful to God for creation. It does not really matter that the two accounts in Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-25 are two very different stories because pious readers will ignore the disjunctions between them and simply read the second story as the more detailed account of the creation of man and woman.
It is only in quite recent times that the inclusion of the creation stories in scripture results in a serious problem for religion, and this is because science demonstrates just how wrong those accounts are.
