Besides hearing the rabbits use their ears for cooling. They do not sweat or pant to cool themselves (if you see a rabbit panting it is because he is already overheated and suffering from heat prostration). Blood circulates thru the large veins in the rabbits ear, and it cools as it does in the air.
The same purpose all four legged mammals have tails. It is for balance.
Bunnies tails are used in the wild to tell other bunnies if there is danger. They will flick up their tails to show the white undercoat to warn the others
To swat at pesky flies.

There are many rabbits with ears sticking up. My Netherland dwarf rabbit, which is the smallest rabbit, has upright ears. Also dutch rabbits and rex rabbits do, to name some. Hope this is of some help :)
Dessert rabbits along with most dessert mammals have big ears to circulate air through there bodies.
why do rabbits keep their big sound collecting ears
yes.
Rabbits have floppy ears because, a rabbit breeder a long time ago selected a rabbit with "deformed ears" ( lopped ears) and bred it with a staight eared rabbit. And they created lop eared rabbits.
The plural form for rabbit ears is (one) rabbit's ears; or (two) rabbits' ears.
Bunny ears serve many purposes. Bunny ears are used by the animal known as rabbits for hearing sounds. Humans use fake bunny ears for costume purposes.
True
It's not true that rabbits with long ears have a longer lifespan than rabbits with short ears. Ear length has no bearing on a rabbit's lifespan.
It depends on its species and size. Tiny rabbits have tiny ears.
