Of course, it does matter. First for the same reason any bit of information matters in itself, regardless of application : advancing human knowledge. Second, observing a possibly habitable world and its host star system clues us in to its formation, its atmosphere retention, potential relationship with its satellites, and so on. Having another subject to study besides Earth has potential ramifications in many fields and may indirectly bring positive consequences right here.
