It's called "anti rattle clip" That's exactly what it's supposed to do, keep the pads from rattling. Not a huge deal if you don't use it, you may get some clicking noise at slow speed, stop and go. However there's no reason for you to not be able to adjust the tension so it stays in place. I would use it and get new ones if you think it absolutely won't bend to shape.
Those calipers look like you got them from rockauto, they sell the kits that contain the anti rattle clips also
