Finally, the manga of Naruto has been ended, and yet I wasn't able to figure
out why Tobirama created Edo Tensei. From what I've known, [Edo
Tensei](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation) is
technique was intended for the dead to be reincarnated into soldiers able to
clear a battlefield with devastating and under any other circumstance suicidal
attacks.

Why did Tobirama create Edo Tensei?


That is correct. Edo Tensei was designed to be used as a weapon. Edo Tensei
has several uses:

  * Using your Enemies' allies against them has a deep impact on morale (Imagine having to fight to the death against your best friend/brother/father)
  * Regenerating soldiers can use suicidal moves repeatedly (Although it does seem like some techniques leave a permanent damage, even on an Edo Tensei'd body, like Itachi's Izanami).
  * Increasing your numbers is always a good thing.

Tobirama created this technique to battle in the wars between clans/villages
during his time alive.
