I would argue that it's quite important. I learned touch-typing later on, and it's definitely made a difference for me. It makes typing a lot less frustrating. Also, I think it improves ergonomics - you can sit (or stand) in a relaxed position with good posture and just look at the screen. If you're constantly moving your head/eyes between the keyboard and the screen, that's probably not great for your neck, shoulders, and back.
