The hymen is actually quite useful.
Think, if you will of a family of cave-men. There's daddy Ugg, mummy Uggina, and little Ugginella. Ugg is a man so he has no hymen. Little Ugginella is a 2 year old girl and she crawls and wobbles about the cave and the countryside naked. As she romps nude with her little cave-friends all sorts of tiny rocks, bits of leaf, grit, dirt and nasty bits get all over her body and even inside her vulva (oh no I hear you cry!) and poor little Ugginella could get very sick if all that stuff gets deep inside her. Luckily Ugginella has a hymen which comes in very handy as a physical barrier to dirt and disease (yay for the hymen!). Her mother Uggina has not got a hymen any more (it broke when Ugg's willy went inside her) but she does not need it as Uggina doesn't play in the dirt like a child.
So the hymen is useful to keep the vagina free from dirt and debris when a child is young and vulnerable to getting stuff inside her.

Hymen: a thin membrane that surrounds the opening to a young woman's vagina. Hymens can come in different shapes. The most common hymen is shaped like a half moon. This shape allows menstrual blood to flow out of a girl's vagina.

The reason why the hymen is there is to protect the uterus from infection in growing girls.

It doesn't DO anything. It sorta like a seal in her vagina. It's broken during exercise or intercourse.

Nothing. It breaks when you have sex.
