The obvious purpose is to let the user group securities by type. If you 
have no use for such a distinction, you can choose to ignore it.

Your timezone determines when midnight (and hence a new day) occurs 
relative to UTC. This may be different from the corresponding offset of a 
given quote-source. And you are not "required" to tell Gnucash what 
timezone your quote-source uses: there is a default.
