There are a couple of reasons , The wire mesh separates the area where the eggs are, from the area where the water for humidifying the incubator goes. In many store bought incubators, under the wire mess are channels that contain water and can be refilled quickly without disturbing the whole setup. Another reason is to allow fluids and droppings to fall down to the floor of the incubator and keep them away from the new hatchlings. Absolutely the most important reason is to prevent SPRADDLE LEGS.
This problem occurs in day old chicks and is 100% preventable. If the new chick fresh out of the shell cannot get a proper footing in its new environment, spraddle leg will occur. Smooth surfaces are not good for learning to walk in the chicken environment. A chicks legs will not develop correctly. The WIRE MESH gives them something to stop the feet from sliding sideways. Not all chicks will develop this but it is very sad to lose a chick because of this. It takes a lot of corrective action to fix it and it does not always work, the chick will die.
Below is a good link with pictures about SPRADDLE LEG.

Do you need to control the humidity in an incubator and if so how?
Absolutely. The temperature alone will not produce a hatch unless you live in a very naturally humid place. Most commercial small incubators will have "channels" at the bottom of the base (under the wire mesh) that hold water. These must be checked regularly and humidity should be at around 50%, the temperature should be an exact 100F. Minor temperature fluctuations are tolerated but a drop or increase for prolonged periods will seriously affect the hatch. Extra water is required at about day 18 to increase humidity to 55 /60%. Hygrometers (humidity sensors) are available at most feed and grain store wherever you purchase chicken supplies. A homemade incubator using a light bulb will need a large baking sheet with high sides covered by wire mesh to achieve the desired results. A thermostat and hygrometer are essential for successful hatching. Venting the incubator will help control excessive humidity but be careful not to drop the temperature drastically.
