Nothing in the entire God-created Universe is superfluous or wholly "bad". Everything has its use- provided, it is applied in the right quantity, at a fitting time and in its proper place. If this rule is being disregarded, even so-called "good" things turn negative, can wreak destruction and generally hinder life's natural development.
And so it is with the fear existing in the Ego-mind. You need a certain amount of instinctual fear in order to guarantee your physical survival. However any more than that is surplus.
But fear is extremely clever at disguising it-self. It knows a million disguises and is often so subtle, that you do not even consciously register it -and if you do your Ego-mind is quick to supply you with an excuse. Things like: " I am afraid of heights because when I was a child I fell of a wall." or: "If you hadn't left the light on in the kitchen, I would not have been afraid that there was a burglar in our home when I got back late last night." etc.
Fact remains, that any kind of fear which is more that your natural instinct to guarantee your physical survival, is keeping you from developing your Divine potential. Because fear eats away your love and love you need in order to grow and to prosper in joy and harmony.
It is not enough to get rid of your fear only superficially because in such cases it simply finds another outlet. For example, you cure yourself of your fear of heights and next thing you know, you are afraid of the dark. The only way to get truly rid of your fear is by unearthing its roots within your own subconscious and to replace these by your love and understanding.
