The thing about war is that there are at least 2 different societies involved. If they agree on a set of rules, then fine, but what if they don't? Why should only one side's idea be right?

Often times, a set of rules can have a positive impact. Rules like generally treating prisoners with respect may actually make it easier to extract information out of them.
Plus it shows that we're above animals. Bushido, chivalry, honor; all have developed in various different advanced cultures while barbaric people cling to the "no rules" way. You don't have to agree down to every detail, as long as there's respect.
