Sure, but there are many planets in our solar system - and countless more in the universe - that don't have their moons positioned at the exact size/distance to produce perfect solar eclipses.
Neither does it seem probable that this exact distance was necessary for creation of life.

There is something called the Goldilocks zone suggesting a series of quite stringent conditions on the distance from a star to support the creation of life. Not sure creation is the word one would like to use though ;)

Either way, eclipses on other planets aren't nearly as awesome, Mars for example is patheticsville compared to ours: https://sm.mashable.com/t/mashable_in/photo/default/mars_1u88.1248.png
