A wooden stick with a glass tip? Yeah, I'm not seeing it. If all you need to kill an undead dragon is to scratch it with some obsidian, then I imagine a few arrows would do the job much more quickly, safely, and efficiently.
I'm sure the spear-thing will have some important part to play, since the show really wants us to pay attention to it. But regardless - it makes sense that Arya would get a battle weapon like that, because:
A. her regular weapons are more suited for stealth assassination (dagger), or close quarter duels ("Needle"), than for a full-on battle,
B. she's small, so she could use a range boost against white walkers on horseback,
C. she was seen training with a staff (or rather - being repeatedly beaten with one) at the House of Black and White, a couple of seasons ago, so it's a good way to tie things together and make that whole plot seem like less of a waste of time.
