A mere handful of answers are here. But you should buy yourself a copy of "On Food and Cooking," by Harold McGee. Then you'll have the full picture.
Egg is also used as a leavener and a binder.
Sugar also adds bulk and texture.
Butter adds flavour and texture.
It's riddiculous to over-analyze it. Butter is Butter. Sugar is Sugar Eggs is Eggs. They don't have "functions." The end result is the end result. Try making ice cream with artificial sweetener: hard as concrete. Function of sugar? Just the nature of the foodstuff. Or are you a food scientist looking for a way to eliminate them?
BUTTER ADD FLAVOR, EGG IS TO BIND INGREDIENTS JAM IS FRUITY ,AND A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY, SUGAR IS MAGICAL , YOU CAN SWEETEN ,CARAMALIZE IT AND MAKE IT INTO ANOTHER FORM,NAMASTE
