Genetic variation leads to more new traits in the population which means evolution can occur faster.

All of the responses you provided highlight the importance of genetic variation, but the most comprehensive and directly beneficial point would be:
Some individuals will have inherited traits that give them a competitive advantage that make them more likely to survive and reproduce.
This response encapsulates the essence of how genetic variation contributes to evolutionary processes and adaptation within populations, leading to increased fitness and resilience in changing environments.
