Question

how is ozone helpful to us even of it a poisonous give?

It would be very difficult for anything to survive on the surface. (Think of a very bad sunburn, only much worse!) Plants cannot live and grow in heavy ultraviolet radiation, nor can the plankton that serve as food for most of the ocean life.

The ozone layer acts as a shield to absorb the UV rays, and keep them from doing damage at the Earth's surface.
