Your departure in peace

Hello Rabbi. Why do we sing “Shalom Aleichem” before the Kiddush?
I understand that there are different opinions on whether they say “May you depart in peace.” What do you think?

These are just customs and there is no point in engaging in them. See an overview here: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D_%D7%A2%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%9D_(%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%95%D7%98)
