Javascript validation allows your user to be informed of any errors prior to their submitting the form to the server. This saves irritating page-reloads (since on submit the JS catches the event and validates the form, preventing form-submission if errors are found) and minimises the chances of their having to re-enter information again (and again and again...), or leaving prior to completing the form properly. JS validation is not a substitute for server-side validation (since the user can see the JS, and, by saving the page and amending the JS do whatever they want); but it's a convenience for them.
This is simply part of the concept of progressive enhancement, whereby JS provides a mechanism for enhancing the experience for the user, if it's there and turned on, and hopefully makes their interaction with your site pleasant, or, at least, minimally irritating.
