The sex-bots are the prelude to David. They were made and taught how to love, physically, better than the humans. David, on the other hand, was taught to love emotionally, again better than the humans, in the sense that his love never changed from the innocent pre-teen love for his mother; he never got angsty or any of that "rebel against your parents" phase; he just went on loving forever. (Unless you read the warranty on the box, then he only goes on for five years. But what the hell, it makes for a cool little bit of scenery even if it makes no sense in the context of the movie and what follows.) So Jude Law was there for the juxtaposition.
