There is a need. Using #!/usr/bin/python3.0 would break as soon as
python3.1 is released, while #!/usr/bin/python3 would be fine, at least
in the next few years.

Using #!/usr/bin/python is not fine in an environment with both Python 2
and Python 3 installed, and such an environment is reasonable if one has
Python 2 programs running in production which have not been updated to
Python 3 yet, while he wants to start using Python 3 for other programs.
