Your thinking is wrong. The rotation of a planet has not "been made" for a purpose.

Planets rotate because of a law of nature called "the conservation of angular momentum".

The dust cloud from which the a star and its planetary system forms had angular momentum (internal movements) and as gravity drew this matter together this momentum ends up as the spin of the star, its planets and the orbit of the planets round the star.

Which planets orbit in a retrograde rotation?

Venus and Uranus are two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation, meaning they rotate in the opposite direction of their orbit around the Sun. This retrograde motion is quite unique compared to the other planets which have a prograde rotation.
