He doesn't have to reproduce, does he?
Would it make any difference if he was female and not male?

Since Jesus called Him Father, I'm going to do the same. I feel very comfortable with Him as my Father. But if Jesus had called God Mother, I would have been comfortable with that too.
Doesn't really matter to me.

For my own thought all spirits in heaven are all male and at the time there is no gender at all ,like angels.And woman only appear when Eve was created by God.

God didn't....humans DID! The ancient societies which wrote the doctrines employed in the majority of the world's religions today were essentially patriarchal and openly chauvinistic. To NOT have a leader...a Creator...a being worthy of praise, glorification and worship...who WAS NOT also male was intrinsically unthinkable and untenable. For them, and many today (sadly) it was NOT ONLY a " man's world"...but also a "man's universe" too. In my way of thinking God probably shakes his head in disbelief at the way humankind time and time again twists things to suit their times, cultures and agendas.

For descriptive purposes. Ever tried describing what a spirit is. So God is described in anthropological terms to aid understanding. And, of course, a spirit has no gender.

Your question is the answer:
Why would God need a gender?

You're right, God doesn't need a gender.
I don't about all that other stuff you said...
Reproduce? C'mon.
I don't think God has a gender at all...

I can't remember where I read it, but I read something to the effect that Jehovah was one of many deities that the ancient Hebrews worshiped. Jehovah was the phallic (penis) deity and when the priests elevated his status above the other gods, he kept his masculinity.

Hindus often refer to god as She, and even more commonly It.
At the highest level of understanding It is formless and without any attributes.
Just IS.
