We live in a culture where it matters a lot. We possess biology where it matters a lot. If we were robots which are about to be designed and programmed from scratch, you could ask if it's worth it to make us sexually dimorphic and ingrain it in our cultural programming. But you're too late, it's done already. Pretending it doesn't exist because you'd like it not to won't get you very far.

Why do scientists make a distinction between the different types of galaxies? Because taxonomy, and recognizing differences, can lead to better scientific understanding.

Not just women's sports but many other women-only spaces too. The key question is, should men be permitted to ignore women's boundaries and consent if they say they are women? If your answer is yes, then you're likely a misogynist who sees men's desires as more important than the dignity and safety of women and girls.
The strongest argument about why it matters is women's sports which conservatives always derided and still deride. But weirdly now people like you care about the purity of women's sports.
Maybe ask yourself why you give a s** about putting people into category A or B?
Or go read one of the famous blog posts about the assumptions that programmers make about people's names and then apply that to gender
