Gero was a brilliant scientist. Like most brilliant and workaholic scientists he was probably obsessed about his work. It was the most important thing to him. And so he probably looked at his experiments and inventions like works of art and his life ambition was to reach perfection in his experiments.
When he was with the reb ribbon army he probably had all the funding and support that he needed for his twisted experiments.
When Goku trashed the Red Ribbon army its was a huge set back for him. He no longer had a morally deprived and almost unlimited funding. He hated Goku for it. So much that he vowed to destroy him and so he began studying him and his friends, and began working and building androids that would be able to destroy him. His hatred took hold of him and consumed him.
However, despite having turned his inventions to the objective of revenge, he never, as a scientist quit chasing his life ambition. And so he perfected his inventions and when the inspiration came to create a perfect organism, he left most of the work for his super computer because he was obsessed with revenge... His objectives of revenge and the work he put into it took a lot of time, so in that way he could do two things at once.
And so, the computer completed his life ambition. A perfect organism. The perfect work of art. A being which combined all the advantages of the most powerful and most resilient life forms known which would strive to become perfect, unbeatable, unmatched.
This being was also programmed so that he could add the power of the other Gero`s inventions (the androids), so that he could combine the power of those life forms to that of the most advanced and powerful killing machines on Earth, effectively combining the most powerful biological and technological/mechanical powers known.
What exactly Gero told the computer to do is unknown but it could be something as simple as providing the computer with all the data and DNA he had, a life form sketch and these objectives:
- collect data and DNA
- combine all the advantages of the most powerful beings in existence into the subjects DNA
- input the subject with the will to strive and meet perfection
- and provide subject with all the information necessary to do it
This would explain why Cell had Freeza`s DNA but Gero knew nothing about the Super Sayans or Trunks. He had stopped observing Goku, confident that he could not progress much further, but his computer was still collecting data and DNA to create Cell.
That would also explain why Cell went after the other androids. Provided with that instructions, the computer, which all most of the data of Gero`s experiments, reached the conclusion that it would be beneficial for Cell to add the power of the other androids to his own. But it didn`t have the means to incorporate the makings of the androids into Cell right from birth because they were not just biological, so it made Cell capable of doing it and it provided Cell with all the information he needed. It was probably unable of making Cell capable of absorbing 16`s power because he didn`t have any part biological, so it just focused on 17 and 18.
So, as you can see, its not a pointless objective at all. Its Gero`s dream and even more than he imagined.

. Well maybe not. Maybe he also had that objective because Gero was obsessed with revenge, but he also had other objectives. And those appealed to him, personally, a lot more than killing Goku.
Actually it wouldn`t make sense for someone so obsessed with revenge to not include the objective of killing Goku into all his works. So that`s one more objective that the computer followed and gave Cell. But it doesn`t really contradict what I said, I think.
