From what I remember in university, it is bascially a missing puzzle piece for many models in physics. If it can be proven to exist, then it will make developing future models a lot easier. It will also allow physicists to ignore the Higg-less models and concentrate on ones that assume there is a Higgs boson.
Personally, I always thought the presence of a Higgs boson would be too convenient. It seemed too cookie cutter perfect.
