Why do we need to include filtrations in the definition of probability spaces when talking about stochastic processes.

In the first line of these notes the author defines his stochastic process. Using a filtration. What is the importance of filtrations?

We want the stochastic process to be measurable for every time $t$. "Measurable with respect to what?" The filtration.

Cant you say measurable with respect to F instead of ${F_t$ where F is the smallest sigma-algebra which makes the mapping measurable for any t>0

Only if $F_t=F$, which is rarely the case.

Which mapping? Details and carefully written propositions already answer the question. To have a quick idea, imagine instead of a filtration $F=(F_t)_tin T=0,1,2,3,dots$ and and adapted process to it $X$ the following situation. The filtration is a newspaper providing information and $X$ is a TV sender using only the information from the newspaper. So at day $t$, the program $X_t$ can only tell stuff in the past journals. (To have a random variable, consider only the stock prices from the journal.)
