I think I'm missing something, there is no mention about _why_ I should do that? What's the purpouse? In other topics it's obvious to me, if I'd read "execise every day" I understand it's for health benefits, to get stronger, etc. But what do I get from writing every day? Why should I do that? Is it writing like a diary or a journal or what?

Speaking for myself, morning writing has been a very therapeutic and useful tool for me. I've noticed that on days that I start off with a half-hour of quiet writing in the morning, my thoughts throughout the day are a little clearer and I feel more focused.

Here's a good explanation by someone else who does this: https://www.chriswinfield.com/morning-pages/

It's an app for writers who want to learn to develop a habit and regularly practice their craft. The point is to write more, develop skill, be more productive.

It helps practice thinking a whole idea through to its conclusion. You will also get better at writing.
