For starters, it thins the herd. If Congress had to consider each and every bill brought before them on the floor, their work would be so bummed down that they couldn't get anything done.
By referring them to committees, the committees can consider multiple bills at one time (because there are multiple committees). Also, they can take the bogus, retarded bills and shelve them, so that they don't unnecessarily bog down the entire Congress.
Basically, a committee decides if a bill is WORTHY of consideration by Congress as a whole.
