For me at least job title is important, although right now I work as an full stack developer, but I am definitely aiming for the lead role, where I have a team to work with.
Also a role defines how much responsibility you can handle, because you can't expect a junior developer to take ownership of the whole application.
Exactly, as a full stack developer, your responsibilities will be quite broad in terms of the application — frontend, backend, and anything in-between — but as your role grows, so too will your responsibility. As you become the lead, either of a team, a project, or a system, your responsibilities will be in a leadership position, whether that's technical, managerial, or a bit of both.
In both cases, your job title is your role, not your self-worth. Job titles are important, absolutely, because we can aim to better ourselves, but we should never look down upon others for holding roles such as junior. Today's junior could be tomorrows lead, and today's lead was likely yesterday's junior.

Fully agree regarding never look down on people who are in a role junior to you.
