Only bad if those 404 pages are resulting from pages in your own site. ( For example, the page that has the 404 is being linked to by another page on yoru site) Not from external sites. That being said, fix them. It's easy. If the page actually doesn't exist then remove them from your sitemap and them remove url like I mentioned before. If the page exists (like example.com/page but the 404 is for example.com/page.html) you can 301 pages or fix your site extensions. I know Joomla has a SEF URL setting.

404 is harming seo?
-
This is an area where I'm not too familiar. I would post a new question and give describe in length what is going on. Do my steps first and if you don't get all of them cleared up then post new question and have a server guy help you. Good Luck!

Host with hostgeter and use joomla for website and Wordpress for blog.

Looks like it is a hosting server error. Where do you host and what platform are you on? (html, wordpress, joomla, etc)

A Soft 404 generally means that someone has requested a page that wasn't found by Google. You might want to "Fetch as Google" to find any pages that are being linked to that do not exist. (Go into WMT and under that specific URL, under "Health", select "Fetch as Google") This should give you a list of all the URLs that are returning a 404 or other errors. If you have already done this, make sure that the pages that are showing up in your errors are not still included in your sitemap. (remove them if they are and then remove the URLs from Google by going to Optimization and Remove URLs) You should also make sure that the "preferred URL" has been selected for your site. If you use the www version of your site and the non www has the errors (or vise versa) then this could be the problem too. (You'll have to confirm both versions of your site and then go into configuration, settings then preferred domain). I gave you a lot of work here but these should solve the problem. If not, post any feedback and any solutions you worked on.

Google Search Console Showing 404 errors for product pages not in sitemap?
We have some products with url changes over the past several months. Google is showing these as having 404 errors even though they are not in sitemap (sitemap shows the correct NEW url). Is this expected? Will these errors eventually go away/stop being monitored by Google?

Why Doesn't All Structured Data Show in Google Webmaster?
We have more than 80k products, each of them with data-vocabulary.org markup on them, but only 17k are being reported as having the markup in Google Webmaster (GW). If I run a page that GW isn't showing as having the structure data in the structured data testing tool (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets), it passes. Any thoughts on why this would be happening? Is it because we should switch from data-vocabulary.org to schema.org? Example of page that GW is reporting that has structured data: https://www.etundra.com/restaurant-equipment/refrigeration/display-cases/coutnertop/vollrath-40862-36-inch-cubed-glass-refrigerated-display-cabinet/ Example of page that isn't showing in GW as having structured data: https://www.etundra.com/kitchen-supplies/cutlery/sandwich-spreaders/mundial-w5688-4-and-half-4-and-half-sandwich-spreader/

Problem with Google SERPS
I am running yoast SEO plugin in WP. I just noticed when I google the client, none of their meta data is showing. I see that I had facebook OG clicked, which looks like it made duplicates of all the titles etc. Would that be the problem? I have since turned it off. I am hoping that was the problem. Also, when the client searches it says in the meta desc - you've viewed this site many times". What is that?
