After Reading the last few chapters, I may have the reason why Tobirama created Edo Tensei in the first place.

We know that the 2nd Hokage wanted to do whatever possible to suppress the power of the Uchiha Clan, in order to prevent another Madara from ever appearing, hence he created the Police Force. But why end the precautions there?

He needed a back up.

The Uchiha's main weapon is their Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan. We've seen the many abilities and forms of it, and the power it grants the wielder. Tobirama knew this. And he knew the Sharingan well, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to explain the process of the awakening of it.

He knew that traumatic events cause the awaken of the Sharingan and even more, the Mangekyou Sharingan. After realizing the greater power of the Mangekyou, he decided to create a jutsu to counteract it. However, not the Mangekyou directly, but its wielder.

He used Psychological Warfare.

Developing a jutsu that could bring the dead back to life could have a serious effect on some people, especially those who love so strongly, like those of the Uchiha. This is why he created Edo Tensei. To confuse the Uchiha, create emotional conflict, making them distraught... making them vulnerable.

Something along those lines anywas :D
