Saionji is the key element of the series.  If he would have been a shy, kind and attractive student who keeps pleasuring Anthy with flowers and chocolate and sweet affection, Utena just wouldn't care about it - or even, perhaps, fall in love with him.  then she would have become a Black Rose Duellist in order to kill her rival!

Once used, we can't throw away a character, may him be a jerk, just like that.  So, in order to keep him busy, we'll make hime attractive, important, loved by Utena's best friend.  He'll be kicked out of the Academy, used as a weapon, and he'll be writing a kitsch "exchange diary" with the willing Anthy, in his spare time.  Just can't get rid of him.
