 I think that, besides the necessity of populating the world with men, tying this mythological past to today, Tolkien's purpose for men was to mix things up a bit. Humans add chaos to the world. Whereas elves might be a clear mountain pool reflecting the stars and moon at night, humans are more like the sea during the day. The spice that we add is our restlessness with this world.
