"why would any  programming language require to create such a complex 
construction".

Because this is exactly how a CPU works (it manipulates memory using 
addresses), and the C language is intended to be very close the CPU. 
Even if it is less and less true because of the evolution of the x86 
architecture in the last ten years.
