Mostly the point is, to make it "look good".
There is arguably some protection for wires and pipes underneath against animals chewing on them, depending on how its implemented.
While it may be technically unimportant, I´d still ask to get that part back. First and foremost if you ever want to sell the car, potential buyers can get a bad impression if there are parts missing. This can affect resale value. Second, any mechanic should return a car in the same good state he got it in, unless otherwise agreed.

The other function can be to control cooling airflow, so yes, get them to put it back - even if they have to buy one...
