Put your hand on a hot stove. Evolution has provided you with the almost irresistible impulse to take your hand away. Pain - in this instance - is the mechanism whereby you can suffer temporary damage instead of permanent damage.
But, as is the nature of evolutionary systems, the pain mechanism isn't perfect (nor should we expect it to be). When it goes haywire, we get chronic pain that is clearly not a 'warning' system.
