Is pronunciation really important?

It’s only important because if you don’t have similar pronunciation to those around you, it will affect your social status in their eyes and make them feel superior to you. Rationally, there is no point in having correct pronunciation, if such a thing even exists, which it honestly doesn’t in the English language or any language.

Languages vary in pronunciation, use, grammar, etc region by region, and change immensely over time. Pronunciation is just how a small group of people in a small region during a brief moment of time choose to say things, nothing more.
