I would venture a guess to say it was done to provide some wind resistance. If the ball were 'bald', it would travel faster and it would be harder to make the ball curve and dip. With a faster moving ball on a hard serve, there would be fewer returns, making the game a little more boring. The covering slows it down a bit and lets the players impart more spin.

so that the tennis racket will have more grip on the tennis ball, allowing tangential force to drive the ball to a spin.

Then only we will call it as tennis ball.
I don't know the reason.

uummmm, so after a long game of tennis (when you are all sweaty) you can still grab the ball without it slipping out of your hands and/or being all yucky and wet when somebody hands it to you
