Poor grammar can make you look stupid to some readers, which detracts from the credibility of what you're saying.

Important to note that depending on audience, good grammar has the same effect.

I believe it is critically important. Proper punctuation is how the author conveys nuance and relationship. Structure shows context. Some people will never be able to spell correctly, no matter how they try. Mostly, I overlook spelling errors unless they are on a meme.

Depends on the context, but for the most part, yes it is.
Proper punctuation makes things easier to read

It depends on the level of communication you're hoping to achieve.
For basic things, grammar isn't important. "I hunger apple want" successfully conveys the message accurately.
When establishing a metanarrative, using ennuendo, or nuanced concepts, grammar becomes key. "I agree; the slavery of American blacks was a tragedy, and caused irreparable damage to those nations." This would not correctly convey the secondary meaning without excellent grammar.
Also, spelling, punctuation, and syntax are reliable heuristics for gauging the intellect of your partner, as well as providing a useful shiboleth for yourself to show that you aren't an idiot.
