Spearmen are the first melee troops you have access to and the cheapest to produce. They are useful for pushing ladders off of walls and digging moats. They are also one of the few units able to use ladders to scale walls. On their own they might not be the strongest but their cheap price means they can be massed rather easily and in large numbers they can overpower in stronger units.
