Apparently, the wife’s CX-5 has a weird rubber weatherstrip type thing under the doors and the snow/ice chunks I’ve been plowing through have torn it.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Anyone know what this is for, how important it is, and how I go about fixing or replacing it?

Looks like a wind deflector for the rear wheels

Unimportant, probably costs you .0015 MPG to remove

Looks like a bottom door seal. Not sure how bad to replace, but you may be able to salvage that one enough to bend it back into place. It’s on the very bottom of Thebes door, correct?
