For keeping score, of course. There are those who are competitive even when it is not a contest. Points give them their jollies.

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)
This was extracted from the link you can find by clicking your mouse when the hand appears as you "mouse over" your own points.

Points are used to encourage and motivate the user into participation with YAHOO Answers and its used as a reward system for when a person does participate with the program.

They mean nothing unless you like status. Everytime you ask a question you lose 5 points.
