It's important. That piece is an air baffle that directs the hot air from the cooling unit up and out the vent. Without it, heat pockets behind the fridge and it cools poorly, especially in hot weather. Replace it with a piece of sheet metal or aluminum. The wasps won't like it as much, and it'll hold up better.
