After God destroyed everything (except Noah's family and the animals on the ark) He sent the rainbow as a sign that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood.

That includes a flood of lies that come from the mouth of the dragon, satan.
Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

He gave the rainbow sign to remind us about Noe's and animals survival of the entire earth covered with water. In addition, It is a promise and his word that he will never destroy humans with the same means

As a token of His promise to Noah. God would never destroy the earth again, read the fine print: by water. This visible sign I am sure was a great comfort to Noah. This is why I think the token was given. It was for our benefit as a sign of reassurance and of God's mercy. God does not need to give tokens when making promises - He keeps them all.

It is a Covenant God made to all animals, man, and the earth, to never destroy it again with a flood. Please read in the Holy Bible Genesis 9:12-17.
