Are you asking , why play e4 or are you asking what other choices are there to e4? and what are the advantages and disavantages?
You play e4 to control directly one of the central squares.
You play e4 to enable your bishop in e2 to develop and enable castling on the king side, after you move your knight out from g1 to f3 or e2, and to control one square in the center of the board, thereby preventing your opponent to make a silly move to counter your move.
You play e4 because you know the opening moves and continuations.
You play e4 as you want to play a tactical game with many refinements.
You play e4 because that is all you know!

this is the most popular opening move, and has its many strenghts------it immediately works on controlling the center, and it frees two peices (the queen and bishop)

because it is a basic chess rule to castle as early as possible and because I want my king to safe. I know there is exceptions.
by castling I connect my rooks and this give me more options to built pressure.
many postpone castling as if every game was an exception to the rule but if in doubt and nothing better to do castle.
watch the movie called "no exception" and you will understand why I say as a do.
if your opponent locks you king in the centre the game is nearly over therefor castling when you can.
just my advice.
a recent chess master once told me when you king side castle you trap your king in a hole, and if you queen side, you lose a pawn, and trap your king. but i still castle (king side of course)
a GM once told me when you king side castle you trap your king in a hole, and if you queen side, you lose a pawn, and trap your king. But i still castle (king side of course).

nearly all sound opening variations include castling with some exceptions.
if castling wasn't that good a lot of opening would look completely different.
And opening lines are at GM level.
Why not e4?
Actually 1 P-K5 is a real opening.
