So what's the point of adding this character ?
Fanservice and to sell toys
BOOBSI think Anno had a plan for her but like most of his plans, he abandoned it.
An easy way of detecting shit taste is if someone thinks of the three major Eva girls as Rei/Asuka/Mari rather than Rei/Asuka/Misato.

Maaya Sakamoto needs to be in every Japanese franchise that matters.
To remind the audience they're watching a kiddy cartoon and not a work of art. Goes for both the original and remake.

I think they had some plan for her at 1st seeing that during the whole 2nd movie she had intel that not even people like misato had access to but since rebuild 3 turned into that mess she just became the fanservice character that flirts and teases to take over Misato's role and to fit in with Shinji's age (or at least looking that age with that curse of eva BS) .

To test old fans reaction to new things, while making a buck from newfags that ultimately didn't work as expected, still best eva "girl".

To have a best girl.

Rei replacement.
As unexpectedly people liked how Rei got character development when she was supposed to be a fuckdoll, Anno added this slut with no backstory or development to feel disgust at. Once again otaku loneliness and perversions were proven to be superior to whatever social commentary he was trying to make.
