I believe the purpose of the tape and mudding is to cover up the joints/cracks and the screw heads. You tape these and then you mud the tape to blend it in (so you don't see the tape lines when you paint).

I may be wrong though... what the heck do I know... I'm not a drywaller, I just watch Mike Holmes's tv show a lot.
