The wall of which you are speaking, seperates the left atrium from the right atrium.
The reason this is important is because one ventricle (Left atrium/left ventricle) contains oxygenated blood and the other (Right atrium/right ventricle) contains de-oxygenated blood.
Blood from the left ventricle provides oxygen to the body through the arteries, while blood from the right ventricle goes back to the heart through the veins and then through the lungs.
If there is a hole or a deviation in the wall, not only will the oxygenated blood & the de-oxygenated blood mix, but the blood flow will be reduced on one or both sides, both of which can cause serious medical complications. (There are various things that can happen and some of them may be congenital.)

In the left side of the heart oxygenated blood flows and in the right side deoxygenated blood flows .To prevent the mixing of the deoxygenated and oxygenated blood the heart has a wall made of muscles seperating the right and left sides of the heart

To keep the oxygenated blood separate from the deoxygenated blood and to prevent the two different flows (to the heart and away from the heart) from interfering with each other.

to separate the cavities, to prevent the blood with oxygen mixing with the blood without it ;)
