Maybe to serve as food for other living things.

So you can better notice the difference between human existence and
externity in heaven.

some folks anthropomorphize energy. Energy will flow wherever it can.

When your talking about science, you shouldn’t talk about God. Because these two are two different paths. In science there is no such thing as GOD. It is the evolution in which the blood sucking insects developed. Here it is how the blood sucking insects evolved. As we have not seen the evolution of this, we have some possible theories put forth by different scientists.

In the first route it is suggested that haematophagous forms may have developed subsequent to a prolonged association between vertebrates and insects that had no specializations immediately suiting them to the bloodsucking way of life. The most common association of this type is likely to have centred around the attraction of insects to the nest or burrow of the vertebrate host. Insects may have been attracted to the nest for several reasons. The humid, warm environment would have been very favourable to a great many insects. In some circumstances, such as the location of the nest in a semi-arid or arid area, the protected habitat offered by the nest may have been essential to the insects’ survival. For many insects the nest would also have proved attractive for the abundant supply of food to be found there. Certainly many current day insects such as the psocids are attracted to the high concentrations of organic matter to be found in nests. Indeed, psocids may become so intimately associated with this habitat that they develop a phoretic association with birds and mammals, climbing into fur and feathers, to be translocated fromone nest site to another (Mockford, 1967; Mockford, 1971; Pearman, 1960). Initially feeding on dung, fungus or other organic debris, the insects attracted to the nest would also have encountered considerable quantities of sloughed skin, hair or feathers. The regular, accidental ingestion of this sloughed body covering probably led to the selection of individuals possessing physiological systems capable of the efficient use of this material. Behavioural adaptations may then have permitted occasional feeding direct from the host itself. It is easy to see how this may have gone hand in hand with the adoption of a phoretic habit. Morphological and further behavioural adaptations would have allowed the insect to remain with the host for longer periods with increasingly efficient feeding on skin and feathers.

Raj K is right. You should not post questions about God in a science section. Science proceeds on the assumption that the phenomena being studied are natural. This position is called methodological materialism. Whether scientists believe in God or not, they are all agreed that in their work they will proceed on the assumption that neither God nor any other supernatural forces are are work.

If you want to know how parasitic organisms evolved, you can rephrase your question and post it here. But if you want to know anything about God, you should post your present question in the religion section.
