Who are you to say what has reason to be in Doom and what doesn't?  Are
you a developer?  Most likely, as someone else pointed out, it was an
inside joke about Wolf3D.  And, as someone else pointed out, the people
you are fighting are supposed to be *bad* guys.

There's no reason for lots of things in Doom, like power-ups and chainsaws
and pressure plates.  None of these belong in a scientific installation,
either.

Oh, gee, I think that one oval-shaped crossing across the acid pit looks
blantantly sexual... we'd better remove that too.

Yes.  We fuck.  Often, and with great enjoyment of the act.  We aren't married,
we use birth control, we use interesting little toys on occasion.  We moan like
beasts in heat.  Life is *great*.  -- Bryant, ref. to Erin, on alt.brother-jed.
