[Mechs, Bipedal weapons systems, ect] What are the advantages to putting a tank or a gun on legs?

Like, I know the downsides. Just assuming that you can get the tech working, any armor light enough to be carried on relatively thin legs wouldn't hold up well to anti-tank fire, it's higher frame makes it more of a target for lower-to-the-ground vehicles, it can't traverse terrain as fast as wheeled or tracked vehicles, ect.

...And that's what has me confused! There are all these downsides, and I can't think of any benefits other than the capacity to more efficiently travel on rocky terrain. Why the hell would any military want these things? What are the upsides that I'm not seeing?

That depends on where it stands on super robot vs real robot. Super robots generally can be piloted with the same dexterity as fighting on your own. Real robots are basically all-terrain tanks. Tank treads are better than wheels, but there's some terrain where you really need feet.
