Why are derived units more complex than fundamental units and why is it important to know whether a unit is derived or fundamental?

Derived units are simply more complex because they are made up of several (that is, usually, by more than one) base unit. It is just the way they are defined; for example, in the SI, distance and time are base units, while speed is a derived unit (distance / time). You can just as well invent a system of units where - for example - time and speed are base units; in this case, distance would be a derived unit.
