Punk is using the title to stick it to WWE
Which is why the title is important. This is the crux of CM Punk's argument. He believes he is the best wrestler in the world -- better than the wrestler put forward by the WWE as the prototype for what a wrestler should be, and current world champion -- and has the resume to prove it: three time world champion; tag team champion; intercontinental champion; protege of Paul Heyman; the man who retired Jeff Hardy; undefeated vs. John Cena in 2011; etc. Despite all these accomplishments, he's constantly passed over for any sort of marketing or main event slot. He needs to prove to the WWE that he's the best wrestler in the world, and in order to do so, he has to defeat their idea of the best wrestler in the world, for the title, on CM Punk's last day of employment. He's beyond frustrated with the WWE, and needs to take their title away from them to both prove his point and punish them for being so wrong.
It doesn't work without the title.

(that would be the concept of the WWE's rep).
What does this even mean?

yeah the title hasn't looked this important in a long time
I dunno, the Nexus stuff put a ton of importance on the title. John Cena was willing to be fired in order to keep the title from Wade Barrett. Sure, the follow-up was dreadful, but that moment was excellent.
