Why generate test data?

You should always have a good volume of mocked up data when testing your application. This will help catch performance issues in your code early on in the cycle as well as issues with the UI. Maybe you need to use a larger width to display the name of your customer because you saw that some customers have long names which are getting trimmed. Or maybe you see that you dont have enough space in your DB for the addresses you want to store.

Is having realistic data really important?

If you are trying to showcase your project as a real time application, it adds a lot of value to actually show realistic names, addresses and data instead of random alphabets typed out in a hurry by you. Creating data and testing it on your app will also add realstic issues like an apostrophe in a name or address which your code might not be able to handle.
