Why not? Signing an email protects against impersonation and tampering.
While you may not be assured that my name is indeed "Peter J. Holzer",
you can be sure that all the messages signed with the same key came from
the same person and that they were not modified by somebody else (at
least not the signed part). I've been signing all my (private) mails for
25 years or so.
