Names also make code more readable.

Unnamed functions exist in one language I know of (Lisp).  Admittedly
I don't have much experience in that language, but from modest
exposure to Elisp I have the impression that they are very rarely
used.

A rarely used feature in an esoteric language doesn't sound to me like
something crying out to be added to C...
