What was the purpose of Eames planting the explosives in the snow dream level? Just to look cool? Because that kick was unnecessary, a kick happens at the level above the dream.

***INCEPTION SPOILER***
The kick had to happen on EVERY dream level...
The van hitting the water after it fell off the bridge, the explosives in the elevator, the explosives on the snow house, jumping off the building... Not only did every level have a kick, but the kicks had to happen in a seamless sequence for everyone to get pulled out of every dream (which is why Cobb & Saito don't wake up when everyone else does - because there was no kick in limbo).

That wasn't limbo, it was an extra dream level they went into to slow down time because Fisher was dying. Limbo was yet another level after that, where only Cobb & Saito went... Ariadne & Fisher jumping off the building was a kick - the falling motion woke them up, not the "dying" from hitting the ground (otherwise they would have ended up in limbo too...)

1. The city (Yusuf's dream); 2. The hotel (Arthur's dream); 3. The snow fort (Eames' dream); 4. The decaying city (Cobb's dream); 5. Limbo [not a layer so much as it is its own separate entity. The only characters who entered it were Saito (shot in Yusuf's dream) and Cobb (stabbed in his own dream)].
