Why do you think it is important to have a variety of different data types for integer and floating-point numbers?
To balance needs of space and accuracy. For a start, having a separate data type for integer is necessary for accuracy - if, for example, you add and subtract lots of numbers with floating-point numbers, you will get accumulated errors. On the other hand, and especially when using sets of many numbers (like arrays), the need to save space becomes important, so you would try to use the number that uses just the amount space you need for a particular purpose, but not more. For example, for a grade that can only have integer values between 0 and 100, a single byte variable is enough, so there is no need to use the larger data types, that use up 2, 4, or even 8 bytes.

How are integers different from natural and whole numbers?
An integer is any whole number
Why do you think that rational numbers are important?
The set of whole numbers is not closed under division by a non-zero whole number. Rational numbers provide that closure and so enable the definition of division of one integer by a non-zero integer.
The largest integer that is not the product of two or more different primes?
The largest integer that is not the product of two or more different primes would be the largest prime number. Because there are an infinite number of prime numbers, there is no largest integer that is not the product of two or more different primes.
