They're not spikey, they're barbed, and it's to keep a hold in the lioness's vagina while he orgasms and ejaculates. Lions, like all felines, have very short penises, and the barbs are there just to keep him inside for a bit longer and minimize risk of slipping out by accident.

To better regulate the temperature of the testicles, human males have their testicles hanging externally from their bodies. If testicles were located inside the torso like all the other organs, the sperm produced would be unlikely to be viable. All primates' testicles hang externally -- in balls.

Male lions like other male animals and even humans display courtship behaviours for the same reason....to get the female interested in him. With a lion the courtship could also help get the female to go into heat. Just like peacocks...the males are out to impress the FEMALES ..once again gender specific behaviours kick in to the picture.

Because it is in their genetic structure to have them. (DNA/Dioxi Nucleic Acid)
All male lions have the Mane. The mane is nothing but a growth of hair around the neck area of the lion. The hair is similar to the hair we have on our heads. The size and darkness of the Mane signifies how mature and old the Male Lion is. Lions with a larger mane have a greater chance of holding onto a pride and also mating with lionesses. Female lions don't have any Manes. Females don't usually fight with one another so they don't have manes. The mane is very useful for male lions in their fights. During fights, lions usually try to go for the throat of their enemies. If the manes were not there, they could fatally injure one another easily. Though lions get badly or sometimes even fatally injured during fights, the mane prevents most of those fatal injuries.
The male lions Maine is nothing but hair growing out of the neck region. Since the male lion spends most of his time sleeping or defending his pride, he has to get into fights with other male lions. during such fights the lions try to bite the other lions neck and throat area. The Maine provides protection from deadly bites to one another necks.
