The purpose is to make the door the focal point of the house. Sometimes the door can get 'lost' amongst all the landscaping, window, etc. Red is used because it's a warm, inviting color.

For the same reason that people color their hair red, or drive red cars ... ever heard the terms "Drop-Dead Red" or "Arrest-Me-Red"? It's because the color draws immediate attention. On the door of a house, that's a good thing, because it broadcasts the message "Heyyy, come on in!"
No, it doesn't really signify anything. It just sets the door of the house apart from the rest of the front of the house. Notice that it's always the FRONT door ... no one ever paints their garage doors or back doors red! Most folks take pains to make the entrance to their home a focal point, and using red does just that.

Because it makes a statement. Some paint their doors a nice green or blue. Whatever you prefer.
