You don't
need it, as you've pointed out.
Many find it useful for various reasons. An easy way to sideload ePub's as kePub's if you want to use the Access renderer or kePub features. An easy way to manage your library, an easy way to more automatically manage collections if you want. Automatically backup the Kobo's database (using a plug-in). There are all kinds of reasons some folks find it useful.
I like getting my metadata (series info, etc) just how I want it and having that then show on my device which I can easily do with Calibre, & I use kePub.
