In many ways!

For example it allows you to walk, if it wasn't for friction, trying to walk anywhere would be like trying to walk across an ice rink but worse, it would be impossible! It is also useful when driving a car, when trying to stop.

It helps us to write, to drive nails and screws into materials,to sharpen tools etc..

You want high friction so that the energy lost to friction is converted to heat energy. The greater the friction, the greater the amount of energy coverted to heat (or sparks).
