It's used to validate your physical presence.
The tax returns can help establish your presence in Canada by showing that you filed taxes as a resident, as well as the periods you may have been working or living in Canada.
It can support your claim that you’ve met the physical presence requirement.

Since filing taxes is a separate requirement (caveat 'if required to file'), it is used to tick off the actual fact of filing taxes in accordance with the requirement.

Start filling out the forms. It asks at one point about which years you have filed taxes. One of the requirements is to have ... filed taxes.

Therefore it is a thing that they check. Filing taxes, that is.

I don't think I can make that any more clear. Read the instructions.
