If that's the case, it's only important if the child is more interested in getting their hands on their parent's money than living in a happy and loving family environment.
However the facts tell us that a disproportionate majority of illegitimate children have anything but a happy and loving family environment, sadly. The prisons are full of them, for a start. Young men that lacked a Father's love and committed, married family unit with boundaries and discipline where they all shared the same identity and surname.

Do you actually have that data or are you just believing what you want to believe? Prisons are probably full of men who were abused as a child by their (married) parents.
All the data shows (and there have been many published studies), that children from single-parent families / broken homes are more likely to have behavioral problems. They tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents who set boundaries and instill discipline and love in equal measure. In particular, black ethnicities are massively disproportionately represented in prisons, with a whopping 70% of all black babies born in the UK being from unmarried mothers.
Clearly, a loving but unmarried Mother and Father are better for baby than a married abusive relationship - as with any rule, there are exceptions. However the institution of Holy Matrimony remains the highest form of commitment that a man can make to his wife and subsequent family, in the eyes of both God and men. The demise of the nuclear family, especially since some Western social welfare systems started financially penalising co-habiting parents versus single Mothers, are responsible for many of the ills of modern British society. The reports make depressing reading.
