What purpose is Nickname in Actor Creation?

I guess there could be multiple applications. To me, it just adds a little more personality to characters. I mean, in real life people give their friends (and not friends) nicknames. Mine at work is sometimes "Ninja" (because apparently I'm always creeping up on my co-workers, though I can't quite see that!). So in the main dialogue, people might refer to their friends by their nicknames, as opposed to their actual names. In my own project, each character has a nickname, by which they're sometimes "familiarly" called.

I don't think it's hard-wired into the code for that. You can change the nickname in the Event Commands, of course, so a script/plugin could be made to do just that. Maybe implemented as some kind of ranking system.

The nickname is shown on the Status Screen. Other purposes are defined by the different plugins, or scripts in previous RPG Maker versions, people have made for nicknames.
