A test fixes the behavior. When later the need to change the code arises, you have a meaningful way of comparing results.

Any test is better than none, I’m my opinion.

That's definitely not true. Tests that lock in a bug or an accidental epiphenomenon of code are demonstrably worse, because they actively discourage improvement.
