A true scientific answer to this question cannot be given. The question assumes there is a function, although this can be seriously doubted.
From an evolutionary point of view, snakes (and all living beings) do not exists to have any function for mankind or whatever other being, but only because their bodies have provided good means for reproduction, given the circumstances these bodies have been exposed in their evolutionary past.
Palaeontologist have evidence that snakes have evolved from reptiles with legs and one could be surprised by the fact that they have benefited from loosing their legs.
