Energy is neither created or lost in the system, it is converted from electrical energy into other forms of energy. An efficient antenna will convert more of that energy into radio waves. Any DC resistance will convert some power into heat, rather than radio waves. This energy is not helping to transmit your signal, and so is just wasted. For this reason, the conductor used should have a low resistance, as should all connections and joints. As all connections can exhibit some resistance, they should be kept to the minimum required.
