Personally, I think it's an ultra lame plot device. It's like they're digging through some of the cheesiest anime character cliches ever. We have anti-social, robotic, emotionally challenged anti-hero protagonist who lets his emotions run wild. There's split personality who is also a designer baby and a reluctant fighter. We have a super femme who is also a complete asshole and stickler for the rules, probably because he feels guilt for some event that occurred before the series started and that he'll have to confront before the series end.

And we have the talkative "cool guy" who now also has a mysterious twn brother.

The main characters are seriously hodgepodges of absurdity.
Didnt you answer your own question? I dont find his brother particularly important and I agree with you that it is a lame plot device.
