Answer:
The US court system is important to the US legal system, as it is able to spread the burden of cases between the jury of peers as well as the statute of the law.
Explanation:
The delegation of the role of judgement can be traced back to ancient history, and even though many different cultures have taken part of it, I will take the example of ancient Israel, where in Exodus, Moses's father-in-law Jethro (Moses being the one who led the ancient Israel towards the promise land), suggests that, quote: "select capable men from all people... and appoint them as officials... hav[ing] them serve as judges for the people at all times."
While you may not believe it or not, this can be seen as being one of the mantle pieces for the court system. Taking a look at the jury of peers, the peers are typically selected based on having no prejudices against either the defendant or the plaintiff, and having them take part in creating a judgement. Judges are also confirmed and reviewed by a Committee in an effort to rule out any judges who may be biased, and to keep those who uphold the rule of law (hence the capable men).
As such, when judges are confirmed, they are then introduced into one of the levels of the court system. The court system, thereby is important in allowing for smaller cases to be "weeded out" and handled in the lower levels of court, while the larger cases that are too hard to be handled in the lower courts are thereby handled by higher levels of court. This allows for cases to be handled in a timely manner without a over influx of cases that may be deemed trivial for the supreme court to be handled by said supreme court.
So to answer the question, the court system is important to the US legal system in an effort to handle all cases in a timely manner by not overflooding the higher courts with trivial cases, and instead to disperse the responsibility of cases to each individual tier respectively.
