yes he could’ve killed voldy without knowing about the hallows, to kill voldy he had to destroy the HORCRUXSES. the hallows were completely different, they were the cloak, the wand , and the stone.and whoever posessed all three was master of death

Voldemort split up his soul into the Hallows.
So even if Harry tried to kill Voldy, he wouldn’t have succeeded. He would live with out a body, like he did before. So Harry had to destroy the Hallows so Voldy had no where to run to; he’d just die.
knowing about them gave Harry the advantage of knowing what Valdemort was up to, to plan ahead. Also gave him the knowledge that Valdemort would have an unjustified sense of superiority by possessing the wand. I think that made a difference.
stories need content.
I mean, in every book the main character could just take a cannon and shoot and the bad guys house, but that is not how things go down
Each book introduces some new, powerful magical artifact – except for 3, which introduces the concept of animagus. The Deathly Hallows were that thing in book 7, the "concept" around which the story was based. The Deathly Hallows could have been removed from the story without affecting the outcome – but it was a thing to attract the interest of those eager to discover some new thing about Rowling’s magic. The same is even true of #4, because the cup, not at issue in most of the story, is important for HP to get into that mess (the triwizard tournament) and the vehicle for the confrontation with Voldy as well.
