It is understood from this these animals are created for biting human beings and sucking from our body.
Maybe there are some benefits we may does not know

Sounds like a naturalistic fallacy and/or a just world fallacy.
There's not a silver lining to everything. Some things just suck. Nature is brutal, not caring. Many relationships between organisms are purely parasitic, exploitative, not symbiotic. If you really want a downer, look up what some varieties of the cordyceps parasitic fungus do to ants.

Not humans specifically but any warm blooded animal. The only benefits likely are to the insect (not animal) itself.
