D6s (six sided dice - like with most games & craps) are also used to generate stats (3D6 - 3-18 for the score).
The others are used for different levels of damage (a dagger may only require a 4 sided die for damage while a great sword may require a twelve sided die). Also for treasures, monster damage, different amount of hit points for different classes (mages are physically weaker than fighters).
As for the number of dice - mostly to show off or to build a collection. Most DMs would need at most:
2 X D4
5 X D6
2 X D8
3 X D10
2 X D12
3 X D20
1 X D30
1 X D100
Even some of these would be overkill (2 D12s?) - players would maybe need even less.

I've also decided to officially start collecting older D&D equipment - books etc.
