Getting a tentacle spike would require risking yourself and killing a tentacle, wich you'd need some time to craft items to do it safely (armor, spear), while you get this battle spear on day 1 and can craft at any time if it breaks with just some materials avaible pretty much at any time. A tentacle spike has 75 uses, this spear has 200, so by the time you'd finish using this weapon you'd have broken 2 tentacle spikes and additionally used another almost completely, wich means defeating about 6 tentacles, so you better be either really good at kiting or have a fuckton or armors and healing items, because you're definitely taking some serious damage. It's much faster and safer to get the materials for this spear than to fight 6 fucking tentacles, something you can't do with day 1 equipament.

tl;dr you're another one of those fucking stupid people I find on the wiki that forget that early game is a thing and items don't need to be overpowered to be useful.
