I thought the purpose was to maintain visual separation from the other
traffic. If both traffic are under IFR, then separation is automatically
provided, so I still don't see what the purpose of pointing out the other
traffic is.

Huh?

The purpose is the same reason they would point out VFR traffic: so
that you are aware of other traffic in your vicinity.
