I know it's a meme but there's an actual answer: because humans have them, and Dr. Soong wanted Data to feel human. That was the whole point of the project from what I understand.

Imagine if Dr. Soong wanted to have a bit of fun and place a third nipple on Data's body just to mess people who would see him naked.

Then he has a perfect excuse to hunt down Section 31 agents while trying to establish control of a new clean energy source. And he won't be fooled by an agent pretending to be a statue. Also he can assemble and disassemble his golden phaser faster than most people can blink.

Damn, I wish I had the writing chops to run with this.
