The purpose is to prevent you from removing the key and getting out of the car WITHOUT it being in PARK.
If you ALWAYS set the emergency brake, then you could do without it, but there is always that one time you will be in a hurry, park on a hill and forget.
However, there is always a ready market here for used parts from totaled cars, so go ahead
