Bread that uses yeast to rise (not "quickbreads") will only rise at a temperature that supports the life and growth of the yeast. This is about the temperature of a very warm room.

When bread reaches oven temperature the yeast is killed, so the main rising of the bread is done before baking. Any further rising in the oven happens before the bread gets heated through, or from the expansion of the bubbles that were already in the bread.

It allows the amount of food(flour and water and yeast) we have to double or triple, so we can increase the amount we have to feed others. It also provides a different texture other than a cracker or a pita bread. Bread has a nice chewy soft texture if we allow it to rise.

You need to let dough rise so that it will rise to a softer bread. Without the ability to for the yeast to work you would have a flat bread.
