Safety.

Headlights or Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are a low-cost method to reduce crashes. They are especially effective in preventing daytime head-on and front-corner collisions by increasing vehicle conspicuity and making it easier to detect approaching vehicles from farther away.

They are typically required by law because it has been shown driving with headlights or DRLs on during the day reduces daytime multiple-vehicle crashes.  For the same reasons, headlights are often required by law when it is raining.
