useful substances must be selectively reabsorbed

Filtration of blood by kidney only selected based on the molecule size. That means all small molecule will enter the kidney, doesn't matter whether it is toxic or useful.
But kidney has another mechanism such as reabsorption. In reabsorption, some specific useful molecule(like glucose) will be absorbed back.
