We need to know things about Mars, and we are picking the low hanging fruit right now. The Phoenix mission is looking for solid water on Mars. Hopefully what it tells us will help paint a bigger picture when joined with everything else.
Will it help to colonize Mars? Yes. Will the Mars Phoenix data be all that important by the time we actually do colonize Mars? probably not.
