Not at all.
First, in the event that no candidate can achieve a majority of delegates in the primary process, who will actually get the nomination has to be hashed out in the convention.
Second, it provides an opportunity for the party to present its agenda on the national stage in a well-organized fashion. Candidates often see a post-convention "bounce" in their poll numbers because of the message spread from the convention.
