That would be to ensure that it conforms to the standards that have been set forth by the w3c. HTML can be written very "messily" with far too many shortcuts. By validating, you are ensuring that it will be compatible with more than just things like IE.

Another way to say it is that you are doing error checking. Sometimes you can create a page that "works" but has errors. But just because it works only means the browser guessed right and there are no assurances other browsers will guess correctly or that your markup will be interpreted the same as newer versions of browsers come out.

In fact, true xhtml and xml require perfect validation and browsers will not display a page with any errors.
