If someone has my private keys because they stole my laptop, then a keylogger will do them no good, and the password will be a valuable layer of defense.

  It is a good idea to use disk encryption anyway.

    Yes, that too! Disk encryption, aggressive lock screen timeouts, etc -- that's all good stuff in addition. But the point is that defense-in-depth works, and passwords can be a meaningful part of the strategy.
