No other plant or animal is important either. Nature doesn't give a shit about any of us. The ability to actually care about abstract concepts like the suffering of others is a rare trait in the animal kingdom. Humans have it. Maybe some primates and cetaceans have it. Otherwise animals are quite content to rip each other apart in the most cruel ways possible for food. I assure you, a lion does not lose any sleep over the suffering of the gazelle.
This alone makes humans a little special, no?

No, not really. We build militant armies only to send them off to fight so we can cause brutality to the same race for all but nothing other than evil and greed.
At least animals are mauling in for survival. You could say power too but at least they eat the remains.
Philosophy is an invention of humans. Laws are an invention of humans. ETHICS are an invention of humans. Nature thinks our laughable attempts at "being ethical" are adorable. Nature is perfectly happy for us to brutally torture each other.
We're only here today because animals have given us the resources to survive. From cavemen hunting for meat to bees, insects pollinating plants.
The only resource we can provide is limited breast milk, sperm and meat. But human meat is deemed socially unacceptable, sperm only exist within biological males and the biological women has a limited timespan in their life where if conditions are right they produce milk. So no, we have no importance.
So without any feasible resources that the homo sapien race can provide that that could cultivate life, humans are not important. QED
