The purpose is to be able to use your health as a commodity. It's like, the very name of the game.
You can trade your health for 5 temporary bullets. Blood Vials being more numerous allows for you to continue this exchange process.
The idea is that your health is used as a form of currency. You can spend your blood echoes on purchasing bullets and saving your health vials, or you can trade your health for bullets and use up your blood vials. This makes it possible to create more varied builds as one that masters in endurance can afford to trade off their health supply for offense when needed. Conversely, offensive builds can rely more on their weaponry.
