Why are transitive and intransitive verbs important?

A transitive verb has both a subject and an object. The verb transitions from the subject to the object.
He knocked on the door.
An intransitive verb has no object, therefore no transition.
He walked away from the house.
This is important when learning passive voice, because passive sentences always contain transitive verbs, but never intransitive verbs.
