Why do you think that God created Adam with breasts and nipples when man would never have a need for them?
Although it doesn't say in the Bible that Adam had breasts, he must have done unless man has 'evolved' and grown them since Adam...not that i personally believe there ever was an 'Adam' anyway.

Men have nipples because we are all female in the womb until a certain point then we turn male( or stay female) by which time we have already developed nipples so they stay with us.

I don't think Adam had nipples at all, like Adam and Eve would not have had belly-buttons either as that is just something that comes with being nurtured inside your mother, and men have nipples because in the womb everyone starts off a girl and then develops the sex later on after nipples are already there. So if you think about it, since Adam and Eve were not born from mothers, he would not have nipples.
And how come you don't believe in Adam and Eve? Its a story saying how God made man in the simplest terms it could be described. 1 day for God could have been a century or a millenium because God lives forever, so really, he did create fishes, and then mammals, and finally man. The bible (in my own opinion) is describing evolution perfectly.

Actually men do have mammary glands like woman and nipples.
The mammary glands in men simply are not developed due to lack of female hormones. That is why transgendered males can grow breasts simply by taking female hormones.
As to the question of Adam, does it not raise a question in your mind that because the male is so similar to the female including breasts that the original template for all life on earth is actually "the Female" template.
Whether you believe in creation or evolution, it is definitely something to ponder. Kind of throws a kink in the Patriarchal model that has been so dominate in world cultures.

And on the flip side of the same coin. Why would man need to evolve with breasts and nipples. Why did nature find it necessary for man to devolope breasts with nipples?

And why is the optic nerve in the center of your field of vision? Your vision is actually corrected in 'software' by the brain to remove this blind spot.
Why do we have nerves that travel from the skull, down the neck, into the chest and back into the head with no apparent reason for doing so?
If we were designed, then whoever did it was drunk at the drawing board.

I think God created Adam with nipples just for Eve.

I like that question. I have no answer religiously. Yes, it's pointing to evolution. The Bible has all the answer. And evolution is one of the many providing the details of God's handy work.

Adam was male and female starting out.
GOD put Adam to sleep and took out the female, and made Eve.
Ditto......

Who said that man does not have a need for nipples?
In some cultures, father's let newborns suck on them for pacification.
