I would say they play a major roll in teaching humans to question things. George Carlin said it best, "Question EVERYTHING."

I think the mind, or at least my mind, wants to know the reason behind major events in the world. It gives a bit of a sense of security if you think you know how things work in the world we all live in. I don't really trust our government (USA) to tell us the truth about what it's doing, so it is kind of natural to speculate about what they aren't telling us. I don't know how JFK got killed, exactly, but that's quite a bit in the past now. I don't think we will get the 9/11 story maybe ever. Maybe we want to think someone's behind it in some kind of thought out coordinated way when it's really not that complex. Who knows?

Yes, to justify their own inherent laziness.

Humans love to have answers to all the questions, so when someone comes across an "official version of events" that doesn't add up, they try to come up with an alternative explanation, and we usually go for a worst case scenario. That's what conspiracy theories are.
