A spear is good, but that doesn't mean a crocodiles bite is worthless by a long way.

To some extend I agree and see your points, but still, having a spear keeps your own head and limbs out of reach of the enemy. Maybe it shouldn't give more damage than a mouth filled with sharp teeth, but being an intelligent creature you'd probably prefer a spear to keep your enemy away. And if the enemy also has a spear, then you need one yourself or you'll get speared before you can reach him.
