in the olden days it was to protect you from germs since there wasn't underwear but now a days we have underwear so we don't need pubic hair anymore.

Same as nose or ear hair. It is supposed to catch dirt, bacteria, bugs, etc.

pubic hair serves as a cushion and barrier from clothing rubbing against our privates.

Not all human parts have "functions" you know -- some are just leftover vestiges of evolutionary dead-ends, like your tailbone or your appendix.

Pubic hair, however, at least one time had a "useful" purpose. Like all other mammals, humans give off various scents that others of our species can recognize -- genital areas smell different when a woman is fertile, for example, and pubic hair serves to hold and distribute those scents for others to pick up. Like many other mammals, long ago a human male would recognize a fertile (ovulating) female by her scent -- and a female could tell if a male was healthy and strong (and fertile) by his scent. All those clues are still there, we've just put social structure around sex rather than relying solely on animal instincts so they're not as important anymore -- we also cover up those areas with clothes now so the scents aren't nearly as obvious :)
