If spam continues unabated things will get much much worse. If nobody pursues a means to stop or reduce it, it could easily put an end to the useful reliablity of email--a means of communications many people are reliant on for business and personal communications. The problem is, we didn't do enough sooner to squash it before it got big.
Are there other important things in life? Sure, and helping others as you point out is a noble cause, but simply because spam doesn't concern you (or isn't high on your priority list) doesn't mean it isn't a serious problem. It costs industry a lot of money to deal with it in terms of bandwidth, computing power, and personnel time.
