An introduction is needed because it sets up the whole essay.  The thesis is stated and the thesis is what the essay is about.  It's also supposed to grab the attention of the audience.  With the opening paragraph, the audience should have an understanding and want to read more.

The perfect introduction is hard to write but it is important to know how to grab the audiences' attention.  The first sentence should be that attention grabber.  Then explain within the introduction what the essay will be about throwing the thesis in that information.
