There is a simple answer to that question, THERE IS NO PURPOSE. Artificial life should never be created, its too dangerous! Have you ever seen Battlestar Galactica???

There are many purposes for creating artificial life. First off, human curiosity -- biologists have always speculated about the rise of life on planet Earth, and as there is yet no way to peer back in time (whether through fossils or time machines) to the dawn of life on planet Earth, we have to instead try to mimic conditions on the early Earth in order to see whether life might form.

What would the point be for having artificial life around if we've managed to create it? Time and again, human society manages to find important uses for scientific discoveries. If we ever manage to produce artificial life, we could study the differences and similarities between them and us (nothing says the life we make must be RNA based, or even Carbon-based), which would at least help the more paranoid of us defend ourselves against them.

Speaking of which, wouldn't artificial life be dangerous? That is very unlikely, Battlestar Galactica or not. Chances are any life resembling life near its beginnings on Earth would asphyxiate in the oxygen-rich atmosphere in the present day. Either way, young life would have had little time to optimize for its environment (we're talking millions of years here) and would pose little threat.
