Well if I remember correctly these corsairs were attacking the strategically important harbour that also housed all non combatants from Minas Tirth. The Harbour had a low garrison because they went to support Minas Tirith, so by scaring them off Aragon got access to their ships and saved the rearguard. Both strategically important in the context of the war

edit: grammar and fatfingered

Oh yeah, the books handle the greater war much more, but that would make for some confusion cinematography. It made a lot of sense, but it's it's also much less... Well, cinematic

Yeah I can totally understand why Jackson simplified it
