    So how important is a sitemap?
    Does the inclusion help in SERP/SEO?
    Is the exclusion derogatory?

    Just how important is it to have?

    Site map is very important not only for proper indexing of your site but to get good rankings also.

    site maps help the search engines find all the pages on your website, so I would say it's pretty important ;)

    So if you dont have one and dont submit it how much of a handicap would you say that would give you?

    Sitemap is to index all the page in the site not for getting traffic or ranking. If don't do site map also site will indexed but will take little more time
