Default Purpose of the Dipstick?

No I'm not a dipstick but I do have an odd ball question. Why does the oil level in the upper tank matter. I understand that having too much oil in the crankcase could damage the engine but how would the oil level in the tank effect the oil level in the crankcase. Its seems like the oil system itself would regulate how much oil in is the crankcase.

Let's have it!!!

LOL, go for the bling, long as it looks good oil level should'nt matter, when it runs out the top it is full.
