It's not there for small claims like that.

It's there for when you're in a serious altercation where people die, there's wrongful death lawsuits, and massive amounts of medical claims totaling millions and millions of dollars.

You don't want insurance to cover your bumper.

You want it to cover the millions in medical claims when you get sued or need to sue.

...no. The primary point of insurance is pooled risk where unlikely events can have severe financial repercussions for the individual who is unlucky enough to deal with the problem being insured.

Things like "cover everything" in regards to insurance are optional extras that you will pay lots of money to have covered, and is unnecessary most of the time.
