Personally, I don't think there is one most important element.
Hydrogen - the "starstuff" that eventually created us
Oxygen - we need it to breathe (forms water with hydrogen)
Carbon - we are carbon-based
Nitrogen - major component of air, we can't breathe pure oxygen
etc...

I think it's hydrogen!
If there was no hydrogen, there'd be no acids and bases, because there wouldn't be H+ and OH-. Then there'd be no pH, because without hydrogen there wouldn't be power of hydrogen (HYDROGEN IS POWERFUL)!
Without hydrogen, organic chemistry would be nothing too! I mean, what is a HYDROcarbon without the HYDRO! :D

Oxygen...for without it, no one would discover the elements in the first place.

It's gotta be carbon. Because carbon = diamonds. And girls love diamonds ;) They're not a girl's best friend for nothing hehe.
