Humans have toes because our evolutionary ancestors had toes. All quadrupedal animals have toes. They also serve a purpose in the way we walk.

For support on two legs, I think. Did you ever notice that bipeds (humans, sometimes primates, and birds) have long, conspicuous "toes", while quadrupeds either have hooves or very short toes/claws that cannot be individually manipulated as easily?

So that if you're lying in bed and the remote control is at the bottom of your feet, you could use your toes to grab it.

Balance. How would we walk or stand on tip-toe to get something.

To help balance themselves. Try breaking either the big toe or the little one and see what it does to your gait.
