From a non-religious perspective with limited knowledge of Christianity:

Baptism is the ceremonial admission of a candidate into Christianity or a specific branch or even a specific congregation. (got that from Wikipedia)

Christian doctrine holds that we are all born tainted with "original sin". Baptism could be seen either as washing away that sin or, a "rebirth" free of original sin. (Water holds all kinds of symbology)

It all comes down to what you choose to believe, and what all the various rituals and trappings are meant to symbolize, bearing in mind that it's all intended to remind one of the underlying meanings and reinforce belief.
