No chord is more important than another. However it is a relatively easy chord shape to master and along with the relatively easy shapes of the G major and E major chords many songs become possible in their easy form.

A basic C chord is no more important than an A, B, D, E, F or G chord, but as a beginner, you'll get a lot more use out of it than, say, an augmented, diminished or suspended chord, or anything that has a name like C7#9add4.

It's not that the C chord is more important but many songs are written in the key of C which contain no sharps or flats.

As others have said, it's not really "more important" but learning C major and the chords closely associated with it (like F major, G major, and A minor) isn't a bad place to start for basic guitar, because

a)the simple versions of those chords are relatively finger-friendly
b)there are a lot of songs in Cmaj
