Justify humanoid mechs first.

They have multiple forms.

In the case of Getter, having 3 different forms and being able to break down into the component jets brings tons of utility. Also it looks cool.

Rule of cool,
I mean, just look at that VF-1S.
Pic related is another example of a cool transforming mech.

But in all seriousness, it's mostly to fill multiple roles into 1 machine, like with VFs Switching between Speed/maneuverability/defense.
Or in other cases/series stealth.

Also Getter can dodge stuff easily just by open getting.

Decades of toy R&D have studied and improved transforming mecha enough to work IRL.

To fight giant humanoids hand to hand, don't ask me to explain Zero, other than that the tech spilled over into a conventional war for a bit and everyone was like "fuck it, it's as good a trial phase as any."

Mobile suit technology advances to a point where one of the valid answers to "how do we optimize single vector mobility and simplify trans-atmospheric functionality" becomes "make the machine transform, usually into something vaguely resembling an aerospace craft, and focus the thrust along a single direction with RCS to maneuver."

Having one form with all thrusters pointing in one direction for max accel, and another with them pointing in different directions for better maneuverability is a decent reason for transformation.
