Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it is needed to start up the body's metabolism and provide energy for activitites throughout the day.
It is called breakfast since it is the breaking of a fasting period, meaning the normal time of your last meal at night until you wake up the next day is usually a 10-12 hour fasting period.

Breakfast is typically the first meal of the day, preceding lunch or dinner and is eaten in the morning.
The English word derives from the idea of breaking the involuntary fast of sleep, thus signifying the first meal eaten after awakening. It conveys the exact literal meaning of the Vulgar Latin word disjejunare, which evolved via the Old French disner (Modern French: dîner) to become the English word dinner[

it is composed of two words 'break' meaning to end and 'fast' meaning not to eat. All night while sleeping, you did not eat, so you were fasting. Now you are having your first meal of the day, in essence, BREAKING YOUR FAST, or breakfast.
