Power level in DBZ plays an important role
during the early and middle of the Dragonball Z series. Power
levels was never introduced during the regular (original) Dragonball.
This idea of "measuring" a person's power was introduced
right in the first episode. Goku's brother, Radditz, used a scouter
to scan and measure power level, and to communicate with other
fighters with scouters. All men working for the fiendish Frieza only used scouters. None of them, with the exception of Captain Ginu, relied on the scouter, greatly in battle. They need to know if a person they were facing was superior or a weakling. Even though a person may have a greater power level, this does not measure how skillful a fighter is. For example, Gohan "grows" stronger than Vegeta before/during the fight with the Ginu Force. Krillin wanted to use Gohan for the wish (for immortality), but Vegeta admits that "Gohan may have the power needed, but not the fighting skills to prevail." This may also explains how even Guldo, a fighter weaker than Krillin and Gohan combined, almost defeats the both of them, if it wasn't for Vegeta to make the save. Another example of this, is when Piccolo faces Frieza's second transformation. Piccolo is able to hold off against a fighter of greater power, because of his fighting ability and skills. Scouters and power levels eventually became useless in the show. In the middle of the series, scouters become useless as more fighters are able to hide their "ki". This makes using scouters basically, obsolete. So fighters relied on their own fights and experiences. By that time, any fighter they meet could basically, hide their "true" power. Not knowing this, they could be easily defeated. So it wasn't important for any of the fighters to know their own, or their opponents power level. Just because it would be useless when fighting an opponent that could easily hide their power levels.
