Many SEO experts claim that a Sitemap does increase a website's ranking on search engines but I have never really understood why. I guess it helps because it perhaps helps spiders crawl a website better and fully?

An xml and html site map is good for helping the engines navigate and decide on the hirachy of the pages on your site. Teh other pages mentioned are good to have from a user point of view and from an SEO point of view as they create a sense of trust and legitimacy. I would be wary to trust a site with no contact details wouldn't you?

I don't think these are for increasing your ranking in SE. But these are made for the user point of view & to make the website user friendly.

Some sites have pages like 10 directories deep and supposedly that can harm spiders to crawl your content. And of course bad inside-linkings.

Sitemap can't harm your rankings.
