I just bought kobo touch, setup with the newest firmware (1.9.14).

With the kobo touch attached to my windows XP desktop, I just copied the books to the root directory of the kobo.

Unplug it, after it processed whatever it need to process; my books are listed.
and I could start reading. I didn't try to organise the books becasue I don't normally read more than 3 books the same time.

Here I'm confused: why people here use Calibre to load books? any benefit?

I have a first generation kobo, for sure calibre is required on that one, but I don't see why calibre is required for kobo touch.
