Very good question from my point of view, because I love those badges on my profile.
1) Mostly, these badges are for fancism and it gives us extra bragging rights.

So, Its a very good indirect encouragement tool.
2) It also gives encouragement to yourself as in my case, I look at my badges daily and when I get a new badge it gives me much pleasure and happiness.
