The appendix is the organ that regulates gut flora and bacteria, and it is an important organ vital to the strength of the human immune system. It is one of the major organs that affects susceptibility to infection. You need it.
I seriously think irresponsible medical practices and teachings based on the urban legend of it being "useless" has resulted in people that had the organ removed, dying younger from diseases and cancer, particularly those of the gut. And having that registered as "cause of death" with little research done into how having an appendix arbitrarily removed would have affected that situation.
