I'm not sure if the question is accurate in the first place, GDP is only one measure of aggregate economic activity, it is chiefly a measure of aggregate output. It can be measured three ways which all end up with the same number. It can be measured by the expenditure approach, income approach or value added approach. The REAL output level of a country is important in terms of recognizing whether a country is experiencing growth over an extended period of time, if the economy is producing it, it must be spent, if money is spent it must be earned, so while GDP is not a measure of economic activity exactly it is important to understanding economic activity in general.
