If mechs acted like tall tracked/wheeled vehicles then yes there would be no reason for them. That's a shallow view of the possibilities that could be implemented though.

As an example making mechs lightly armored, long distance attackers with respectable damage, and high speed is a role that any vehicle could take, but if you give it unique control elements like sideways movement it would be worth considering. Add in other balancing factors like poor on the move accuracy and vulnerability to AI and you've got a vehicle with plenty of nuances and playstyle opportunities.
