Mathematicians agreed on an order of operations for the same reasons that Biologists came up with a system for naming species: To prevent confusion and miscommunication.
Consider this example:
ex1. 5 + 4 x 8 = 9 x 8 = 72
ex2. 5 + 4 x 8 = 5 + 32 = 37
Ex2 is correct. There's a big difference between 72 and 37. Having the order of operations laid out prevents confusion.
If someone wants 5 + 4 x 8 to equal 72, then they can write it:
(5 + 4) x 8 = 72
