What's the purpose of ranks? None.

But knowing the matchmaking of frontline I guess it's too difficult for them to implement something so simple.
What is the purpose of winning and losing? Nothing by themselves.
The ranks in CC are a bad concept borrowed from other games and there is literally nothing worthwhile to strive for in the mode so far outside of bragging rights (which is the dumbest thing to go after imo). It should be a system based on wins achieved instead of the irritatingly typical "performance" scheme. And I'd have to say, unless we are game programmers with plenty of experience in pvp design and mechanics, who are we to cast sarcastic remarks about what's "easy". Let's be thankful we even have FFXIV (up to the next 10 years) at all. I personally would have to say that, even with it not making sense to us, there's a method to the madness to some degree. This IS a brand new pvp mode for the game after all. Frontline just has to many people.
