they are there to make numbers up, personally i don't mind newbies as you don't lose as much as you would normally.

help centre said:
2) The newbie modification: if you play a newbie the points that you play for are reduced.

New user's are given a trial period for a certain amount of ranked games (including tournament games). During this period they are called newbies, and these games allow the user to approach their correct ranking. The required ranked games to lose newbie status is shown below.

However as we are unsure of their correct ranking during this period we reduce the opponent's gain or loss in score.

This will prevent you losing a lot of score if the newbie is actually a very adept player, and stop you picking up a lot of points against a very weak player.

This is known as the newbie modification, and you can see this value if you turn on the stats in the options.

The maximum reduction is 90%, reducing exponentially to 0% as the user approaches 50 games.


and here is a quote from buddytobuds profile:

A higher rank increases the odds of a win, it does not guarantee one.
