Suppose our planet had no concept of martyrdom.

No suicide bombings.

Christianity would have to find a better argument than "Jesus died on the cross, and it hurt really really bad!"

And people with low self-esteem wouldn't have their precious "the more you suffer, the more it shows you're really good, right?" meme, to convince them that their self-loathing gives them character, and their self-destruction gives them virtue.

Does martyrdom really benefit anyone on any level?

This is a young idea and I haven't put it to much scrutiny.
