They need to see how many votes they are behind to they know how many to pull out of their a##es.
Early exit polls are, indeed, meaningless. I remember the consternation personally witnessed in the Bush campaign in 2004 when those numbers were leaked early. It was an exhausting evening, turning from dread to a jubilant victory party.
But those early exit polls tend to weigh toward Democrats, possibly because so many don’t work and vote earlier in the day than Republicans. Hope that holds this year.

Re:exit polls being meaningless
OK, I’ve been voting since Reagan first ran for President.
Never, ever did anybody EVER ask me who or how I voted.
If they had, my answer woulda been
NUNYA BIDNESS
which should be the answer everyone gives, regardless of party.
Roberts is winning the KS Senate race by 10 pts! Not even close!! Brownback up by 4 pts!!
