It's a technique called "tempering." If you dumped the eggs into the hot cream, you'd end up with scrambled eggs floating in the mixture because it's difficult to whisk eggs into a hot mixture before they start to cook. If you temper them by following the directions of step 6, the mixture will turn out nice and smooth and won't look curdled.
