The objects of the category are types. The morphisms on the category are 
functions. Two functions are the same if they match each value to the 
same value. For the Functor laws and the Monad laws, the values 
certainly do matter: if they didn't, they wouldn't correspond to the 
category theory notions of functor and monad because the morphisms would 
be wrong.
