There are many reasons why this could be useful. You do no want to send your visitors to a site or a page that does not exist anymore.

There are also images that you might have linked to and they maybe missing leaving your otherwise colorful page looking a bit dull and boring.

Once a broken link is found you will have the option to remove that link, remove the link but keep the text, edit URL and change the link. There is also the option to manually change a broken link to unbroken if you are sure that the link is not broken. Once installed it will show up in a new tab of the WP admin panel - Tools -> Broken Links.
