It was to show how people have no need for things like diamonds or other forms of currency. The diamond alone does not benefit society so there is not point of it.

In "Gulliver's Travels," the yahoos searching for diamonds symbolize humans engaging in meaningless pursuits and materialistic desires. It reflects Swift's criticism of society's obsession with wealth and status, emphasizing the folly of chasing after superficial goals while ignoring more meaningful aspects of life.

In Gulliver's Travels did Dapple Grey propose that the yahoos be castrated instead of exterminated?
No. In a conversation with the Dapple-Gray about the detestable Yahoos, Gulliver suggests that the Houyhnhnms exterminate the Yahoos through the benevolent use of castration. The Dapple-Gray then brought the idea before the Grand Assembly. Yes, the Dapple-Gray did suggest castration, but it was originally Gulliver's idea (from his experience with horses in England) and it was suggested as a means for annihilating the Yahoos. They would castrate the Yahoos and let them slowly die out, thus exterminating them.
