The problem is that the imported images could be saved to different 
folders if the file date is different, in this case you don't have a 
single destination folder to go into.

On the other hand the catalog allows you to view all the imported images 
at once, furthermore a catalog is created for each creation date of the 
imported files, so you get an automatic organization by the date the 
photos were taken and the date the photos were imported.

The general idea is that the user shouldn't care about the location of 
the files on the filesystem, he just needs to organize the files using 
the catalogs.
