As far as I can tell, the reconstructions are based on complex factors from the skull and any other available skeletal and biological evidence. But there’s no real way to check it. So, is there some genuine scientific purpose for it?

It gives context to the remains. When they reconstruct a face, even if there is no way to verify it is 100% the actual face, it still transforms an ancient skull into something recognizable.
That way the scientists and public can conceptualize that they aren’t studying old remains and bone fragments, they are studying an actual person.
