It delays the crash by a few milliseconds.

It is the best angle of attack for the speed they are flying to maintain level flight.

Most aircraft will cruise with the fuselage at a positive angle. If they were level during cruise, they would have to fly nose down when the flaps r extended, & that could mean planting the nose wheel down first upon landing which is not very good.
l provided a much more detailed answer to a similar question just a couple of hours ago, which would be tedious to quote here in its entirety. See the question & at http://..com/question/index;_ylt=AjUOSEZ00jKDUXpg5t_KR4_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080825113420AAwqZGP&show=7#profile-info-TqPXdijjaa
