Dumb question, what's the purpose of the fuse between the battery and the alternator?

It replaces the fuseable link that’s in the stock charging wire. Like @Jared Jackson suggested, it prevents overloading the wire should it be trying to charge a drained battery at the same time as running other high amp accessories. It also provides protection to your battery and accessories should a diode fail in your alternator.
