Polar Bears have sharp teeth and sharp claws because they are carnivores. Carnivores need such parts to rip through flesh and such. Also, to fight off enemies. I mean, that's basically why Polar bears--or any other bear for that matter--have such sharp claws and fangs.

They hunt and kill animals to get their meat (or fat, rather) from. They need those teeth and claws to catch and kill those animals, like seals and walruses.
