To answer the question as written:
For many people, the groove or hole does not serve any practical purpose.
Because the hole takes space, the middle part of the saddle has to be wider so that there is still enough surface area to sit on. This can be a fit problem.
The hole's edges go pretty much against the part of your anatomy where you don't want any ...

The primary consideration in finding a saddle is how well it suits your sit bone shape and groin tissue.

Saddles are the most personal contact point on the bike.
If you prefer a cutout, or specifically don't like cutouts, then you have the option of either. Gender and differences come into it as well, there may be body shapes that suit one style over another.

Since it's new the ideal thing would be make whoever you bought it from fix it.
When this problem happens on a bike where wear or muck isn't a factor, usually what's going on is there's one particular area on the offending chainring that's been bent, distorted, gouged up, and/or poorly formed, and that's where the chain is catching. In many cases that area ...

I found a small cork and put it in the hole and this seems to be working. I can easily get it out using a pair of needle nosed pliers and by turning it (like I was removing a screw). Good luck!
