I think the benefits for not having the government, at its discretion, within the United States, listen to your phone calls or search your house are obvious.

Do I really need to explain the benefits to one and the drawbacks of the other?

 As for your need to explain the benefits of the 4th Amendment, given your opposition to the Exclusionary Rule and your lack of a reasonable alternative to enforcement of the 4th Amendment, I think the question is a rasonable one.
