I don’t think it’s about only providing Nick a girlfriend. Renard stated the necessity of Juliette in S1. She provided Nick roots in Portland, a reason to stay in one place. Without a dedicated love interest, whether Juliette, Adalind, or someone else, Nick might have gravitated toward the typical lone wolf Grimm lifestyle.
As for Juliette specifically in S5. The new Eve character was introduced as being indifferent to Nick and his personal woes. She wanted to utilize his Grimm abilities but didn’t feel any concern for him as a man or a Grimm. That attitude didn’t fit within the show’s streamlined use of the characters. The ‘good guy’ characters were loyal to Nick, period, and the show quickly transitioned Eve into expressing affection for Nick and caring about his personal woes. I don’t recall a character - good, bad, recurring, or episode specific - who remained indifferent to Nick.
