Privacy was one of the core goals of cypherpunks that predated and led up to the creation of Bitcoin

As for advantages of using Monero over cash...
-Can't use cash to transact instantly with anyone on the planet.
-Can't carry arbitrarily large amounts.
-More vulnerable to confiscation and theft.
-More difficult to verify authenticity on-the-fly.
-Issuance is centralized, unpredictable, and doesn't require PoW.
-Not as easily divisible (Need to carry specific denominations and change)
-Can't trustlessly exchange for crypto (no atomic swaps)
-Can't have multiple people with simultaneous ownership and control over the same cash (multisig)
