What is the point of statblocks?

I still have to figure out what purpose statblocks serve over just formatting a statblock and copy-pasting it into a text snippet. The main thing I am wondering about here is that so-called statblocks are actually fairly clunky to use - opening an entire new document to view it seems to go exactly against the purpose of a statblock as a quick reference of stats.

Maybe I am using this feature wrong, so feel free to correct me, but how is something that I have to import (three clicks) and then view separately (one click) better than just copying and pasting (two-three clicks) it and being able to view it instantly because it shows up as a text snipped (no clicks)?
