Why is equal gearing so important?

I was reading this morning about a type of gear system (Pinion) that offers equal gear spacing. This idea has been around for many years as a good thing. But my biological mechanics, do they really need equal gears? I don’t have much of an answer but my body tells me it’s not that linear. I mean when needed I can get out of the saddle and hump up a hill. And make it up just fine. Is this just me or anyone has any actual data. Thanks.
