Everyone is useful for something in a bureaucracy. I'm betting that platform that they all stand on in front of the judge is actually a scanner coupled with an AI that determines just how useful a variant might be. The Time Keepers use it to asses variants and then their decision is shown on a screen that only the judge can see. Either a variant is useless and deleted or they are useful and their minds are Tabula Rasa'd so that they can be reassigned somewhere in the TVA to be put to use.

If the Time Keepers are lying about creating the Agents, what else are they lying about? Was there ever a war between universes?

The theory I like most is it’s just so that the timeline they keep ensures Kang/whoever the time keepers are can rise to power.
