Is body fat important?

Hi guys. I have nearly 16-17% body fat. If I move on lower body fat, like 12-13%, what are the benefits of this besides aesthetic looking?

Body weight exercises will be easier.

A lot of things are easier in life, tbh.  From sleeping, standing up from the ground, and moving in general.

I don’t really think 16% is a level where sleep is negatively affected.
