They let you know something is dead or rotten nearby. Its how I discovered a dead chipmunk in my walls.

Other than being food for things way down on the chain below any of the cool animals, I can't see what.

They help with the decomposition process

Mosquitoes and ticks are things I don't understand

do they though? most things would decompose without them right? Alot of people bring this up. This reason could be overrated.

They carry many different bacteria that help decompose. Hence why in a zombie outbreak they would be more dangerous than the zombies (barring the idea that the flies could be zombies themselves) as they would be attracted to the rotting flesh of the zombies + would be attracted to the sweat on your skin, causing them to ferry zombism directly to human populations.

many flies drink nectar and help pollinate plants. not all of them bite, eat trash, shit, etc. in fact, robber flies eat mosquitoes, horse flies, deer flies, yellowjackets, hornets, and other things that want to hurt you

They help get rid of feces left behind by larger animals. Also, an important food source for other animals and bugs.
