Answers:
This will greatly improve the flavor. This process "slow fermentation" allows time for the yeast to condition the dough. And develop flavor. The conditioning of the dough is accomplished by enzymitic action created by the yeast. Flavor development is accomplished by alcohol and acids also generated by the yeast over time.

Other Answers:
It has to rise.
It's called "proofing". And it makes it easier for the dough to keep its shape while it rises in the oven.
allows for slow work of yeast and flavoring
It lets the yeast rise. And makes the dough a little easier to work with.
I don't know what kind of cookies the other folks who answered are making, but cookies don't have yeast, plus yeast needs to rise in a warm place, not in the refrigerator.

The real reason for refrigerating cookie dough is usually so it will stiffen enough so that you can shape it by hand or roll it out.
