I lost my boarding pass with my bag tag on it, does this matter?

In theory, you can be asked to show that receipt when claiming your bags. (I faintly remember having to do this at JFK once.) Also in theory, if your bag is not there, some of the numbers on that receipt will be useful for tracing it. However I have had lost (“delayed”) bags on numerous occasions and they’ve never asked for the tag or the numbers.

In practice you won’t end up using that receipt for anything. Even if security demands it to release your bag, some ID proving that your name is the name on the handle tag will clear things up soon enough. If things go wrong, there’s a chance it will help, but not having it won’t mean you can’t have your bag or it will never be found. These things are recorded electronically, not only on your slip of paper.
