Why are trophic levels important?

If there is a supply (e.g. of food), there is a demand.
Explanation:
Like economics, supply and demand must be balanced. Otherwise economic crises might be seen.
In ecology, if there are producers in a defined area, there are consumers (as well as decomposers). Even if in low biodiversity areas, creatures depend on each others.
If there is no producers (such as a plant), you cannot sea any primary consumers there. That is why trophic levels are important. They show availability of food/energy in a defined ecosystem, complexity of "who eats what", dependency of any one to others, etc.
