Why was the Battle of Fredericksburg important?

It was not especially important - just a case of a terrible battle that put the Army of the Potomac out of action for months, and cost the job of the ever-unlucky Burnside.

Just one curiOSity: it was the only time that Robert E. Lee was ever seen to lose his dignity and dance around hugging fellow-officers, because this victory had cost the Confederates so few casualties.
