The only real benefits you get from a firewall are:

I think you're missing the point. If you don't know what you're
doing, don't do it. If you want to run a server, you can't take a
default configuration.
I'm not missing anything.
I think we didn't understand eachother.

Let's say I want to change for many reason.
The first one is flexibility!
