You assume the jester is never used genuinely. There are plenty of posts where users are trying to be funny. I've seen them on other forums.
Is the Jester award not appropriate for those posts?
And if another award (like, say, "Hilarious"), started being used en masse in a mocking or derogatory way, then that's the award that would become the de facto "insult" award. It's not the award itself that is malicious, it's how people choose to use and interpret it.
Yes it does. The Jester directly insults other users by calling them clowns. The 'Hilarious' award refers to the post, not the user behind the post (like the Jester). The 'Hilarious' award cannot be an insult award because it was designed to denote humorous posts, while the 'Jester' award was designed to insult people.
The genuine purpose isn't an insult. As it describes itself as; "An important part of any royal court."
Being a part of a royal court is already a high place let alone a part that's considered important.
Naming it the "Clown" officially would be too obvious though, they went for naming it the medieval equivalent instead. Functionally identical (and visually identical to boot) — it serves the express purpose of directly calling other users fools and clowns.
If we are to assume that the description is sarcastic for the Jester award, then we can assume the same for the other awards. This removes any genuine usage for most, if not all, the awards.
Jesters were an important role in the Court. Not only did they have direct access to the king, they were also still considered part of the common folk. It isn't strange for a king to consult their jester about decisions or for the jester to consult the kind about their(the king) decisions since he(the jester) had a closer link to the commoners.
And many other things...

If I'd use the proponents of a status quo's arguments - prove that nothing would change if the Jester was changed! It's easy to say it wouldn't work based on your biased projections, tougher to show any evidence that nothing but the image would change. The onus on showing this is on the Jester supporters. Take away the Jester and the Jester issue would be removed - no one can dispute this.
How much of the bias to keep the Jester stems from the easiness of farming steam points, for those who see some value in it; or to have an easy way to anonymously, at least attempt, to insult people?
Oh yeah, what I mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg.
It's absurd to suggest Valve intentionally provided us with an award designed to insult each other. And it's naive to think "Hilarious" can't be used insultingly. If you award someone making a serious point with "Hilarious", then you're being sarcastic. If someone expresses a sincere opinion of a game with no humor and you award it "Hilarious", then it's mocking laughter making fun of someone's opinion. It can absolutely be used as an insult.
Dismissing a valid explanation with "It's absurd" while not providing any opposing explanation of your own is absurd, if anything. The 'Hilarious' award can't be used insultingly because it doesn't insult people; it only addresses the content of the post, not the user behind it. Besides that, unlike the Jester, the 'Hilarious' award has demonstrably been used for comments with the sole intent of being humorous.
The opposing explanation is that Valve just wants us to get along. The single biggest difficulty in running any discussion board is the neverending battle trying to keep things civil and respectful. Moderators have their work cut out for them every day, having to deal with thousands of reports. There is absolutely no way Steam would intentionally provide us with a way to insult each other. That goes directly counter to all their efforts to make the disucssion boards welcoming and friendly.
Neither does the cute clown face. You keep assigning inherent qualities to these awards but that misses the whole point: That they have no inherent qualities. They are used however we choose to use them. The Jester award became the "insult" award not because it designed for that purpose but because trolls decided to use it that way and it caught on. There is zero reason why they couldn't do the same with the Hilarious Award (which, again, can VERY easily be seen as mocking laughter).
