According to the Jewish sages, there were several motivations. One was to serve as a reminder that all people after the flood were descended from Noah. This would serve as a motivation for brotherhood (avoiding war). Another reason was to serve as an impressive, imposing focal point of Nimrod's idolatrous cult. The third reason was to intimidate the people into accepting Nimrod as their dictator.
