The main point of meiosis is to produce haploid germ cells that will recombine later to another germ cell, for instance, a sperm cell combines with an egg cell. The recombination produces a new individual with a complete diploid set of chromosomes.

Mitosis, on the other hand, is for producing new functional cells with an individual. To be functional, the new cells need to get a full set of diploid chromosomes.

It is not the only way to do it, but it is how all vertebrates pass on DNA to new cells. Arthropods and mollusks, for instance, do it differently, their body cells only get the DNA they need.
