We need to measure length or distance because they're both physical dimensions necessary in every-day life. For example - you cannot calculate how much fuel you would need to drive from A to B, without knowing how far B is from A ! Another example - you wouldn't know if a piece of furniture would fit in a space you have - without measuring the dimensions of height, width and length !
