Why do Pentecostals celebrate Easter?
For the same reason as the rest of Christianity does: Easter commemorates the Resurrection. And as Paul says "if Christ is not Resurrected you are still in your sins", or in other words if the Resurrection did not happen there is noChristianity! This makes Easter the single most important Christian religious holiday.
Any sect or denomination claiming to be Christian that doesn't celebrate Easter therefore cannot be Christian!

They weren't and they don't. They're pretty obviously pagan fertility symbols; unlike with a lot of other pagan symbolism ("Christmas" trees, for example), I don't think that anyone has even made a determined effort to try to co-opt bunnies and eggs as some sort of tortured Christian allegory since it would be so transparently false.
PS As long as you're getting upset about stuff, the word "Easter" itself is derived from the name of a pagan goddess of the dawn.

No he doesn't. Until the year 325 AD Easter was celebrated at various times different parts of the world; some even aligning it with the Passover (Pasach) of Judaism. The 325AD Church Council, to standardise the celebration of the Resurrection, determined that Easter would always fall on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal(spring) equinox. The vernal equinox is the day that the day the sun crosses the equator into the northern hemisphere. In 2008 the vernal equinox was March the 20th. The full moon after that was was March 21st, so Easter fell on Sunday March 23rd.

What does it say in Leviticus about Easter and Passover?
Leviticus makes no mention of Easter, since Easter was originally a pagan holiday turned into a Christian holiday more than 1500 years after Leviticus was written.
Passover commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, but Leviticus doesn't mention Passover as a holiday. It only provides some laws for the remembrance of the Exodus.
