Supposedly it's meant to show just how much better Yahweh is, because he's so perfect that he just doesn't think unjustified thoughts, but it still serves no purpose. Taken at face value, it's demonstrably wrong. Just ask everyone I haven't killed, raped, stolen from, ect. I'm not sure what it's supposed to teach anyone, aside from the idea that no one is perfect. Well thanks. That's about as basic a lesson as "be nice to each other", which most people at least know, even if they don't practice it.
This might be comparable to the story about the legion of demons, to show that Jesus is so awesome that even a legion of demons is no match for him.
The idea that you're supposed to take the thought crime verse differently doesn't really help Jesus' case as a great moral teacher.
