To keep things warm.
On the head - to keep warm since 75% of the bodyheat leaves that way.
Eyelashes - to protect the eyes. Ask anyone who has lost their eyelashes due to chemotherapy for instance and they will tell you how sensitive their eyes have gotten.
Nosehair - functions as a filter.
Armpits and genital area - we have sweat glands there so the hair is for keeping the area airy, even if it sounds weird. It's for preventing skin against skin in a warm, moist area so bacteria wont like it there.
The hair on our arms and legs is a remnant from our hairier, more apelike days.
