So we can inhabit them and do the same thing all over again that we did to the earth. Or hopefully they will attempt to correct the wrong this time around. It won't happen anyways they are just looking as opposed to doing nothing.

How many planets like earth are there?

If by "like Earth" you mean habitable (that we could live on, without spacesuits, domes or other technological adaptations): there aren't any in our solar system, and none yet elsewhere that we know of. But scientists keep searching; the universe is a pretty big place, and odds are there are multiple other Earthlike planets out there somewhere.
