The goal is to reduce attempts from other nodes in the network to use channels that are unbalanced and can't be used to relay payments. This leaks information about the current balance and is a privacy tradeoff, particularly in this simplistic implementation. A better way would be to add some kind of hysteresis in order to prevent trivial probing of channels.
