I've never paid interest on a credit card, and if you pay off the balance each month you won't either.

So... what's the point? If you're just gonna pay it off as if it were a debit card? It's just debit with extra steps. Doing that will even harm your credit rating.

It's easier to deal with fraud. You can see the fraudulent charge and report it before your money is taken.
You earn cash back. Between 1% - 5% typically. This adds up.
I don't believe paying your credit card off on time each month harms your credit rating. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/credit-cards/making-small-frequent-payments-credit-card-good-idea
