This is not a stupid question. It seems very reasonable to me. While it is very unlikely that this was the case during human evolution, hemophrotidism could be beneficial to speciation. Assume that there is a mutation that results in a fundamental change in chromosome number for example. This is going to be a huge impediment to interbreeding. If however the individual were a self-fertile hermaphrodite there is the potential to pass on the muations to future generations.
