Speaking from an anthropological/evolutionary point of view, women's breasts evolved as a biological necessity.
As we humans evolved and our brain and skulls enlarged babies were necessarily born quite undeveloped compared to other species so as to accommodate the passing of the comparatively large head of human babies through the birth canal.
As a survival mechanism, it was therefore imperative for the males protect and provide for mother and child. The easiest way to do that, evolutionarily speaking was to transition from lower forms of primate sex where the rump was the sexually attractive element to face to face sex where the male would associate the female's face with the pleasure of sex. So as a result, breasts are merely a representation of the rump but placed in proximity the female's face thus assisting in a male emotional and physical bond to the female and offspring making it more likely that the male would stay to protect his mate and progeny.
Sounds clinical but it worked and guess what, it still does.
