Cursive is faster, and needed be any less readable.
You might as well ask, "Why learn to type, vice just hunt and peck?" or, "Why learn the multiplication tables when adding long columns will work?"
Do you never write hand written letters or cards? If so, do you actually print everything out like a second grade student?
Do you print your signature, or is it cursive?

On the rare times I do have to hand-write anything of length, I print. But my signature is cursive.
As I said, I think it is a good thing to teach. But I don't think they should spend a whole lot of time on it, and force the kids to use it on everything. They should be allowed to use whatever is more comfortable and easiest for them.

"You might as well ask, "Why learn to type, vice just hunt and peck?"" Next century people may be asking “Why learn to type when I just dictate everything into my ring computer”. The century after that it may be controlled by implant.
