In most states where they use adjectives (like simple or aggravated) it is a way of helping the court, the judge, the prosecutor and defense attorney easily identify the severity (or lightness) of the crime without having to spend a lot of time digging into all the facts to find out how serious it was.
Simple theft would be like shoplifting - something that doesn't cost much and no real chance of anybody getting hurt.
Hope this helps, Great Question!
