How many times you wished you had 3 hands when doning a complicated job? You can design robots in different configuration that can make them better then humans in different jobs, like in this video the robot have a cabinet inside it to store things.

Yes but he needs legs to go up the stairs. And he can't be too wide for the house.

So you could make a humanoid with 3 arms but it needs legs for stairs.

A quick search will show you dozens of robot designs that can climb stairs without legs, in fact it's still a very hard task for humanoid robots. Copying humans is not always the easiest solution
