The point of CSS is to separate presentation (CSS) from content (HTML). This separation is a popular tech-design philosophy / methodology. It means that you can display the same content (HTML) in different ways (with different styles) for different contexts: laptops, smart phones, in print, on a braille tactile device, etc. Depending on how you implement your CSS, it also enables you to make site-wide changes in a single document which can make updating (even redesigning the entire aesthetic) a site drastically easier.
