Hi I just finished reading Horus rising (antouh I have also read flight of the Eisenstein) and I noticed the character keeler seems to do absolutely nothing and not have a point at all. Is there a point to the character? Or is it just the author adding a second female character?

Keeler is quite important in the Heresy.
She appears in many books. She is important.

True dat. First Saint of the Imperium, she provided the ideological backbone of what was later known as the Ecclesiarchy. She's one of those pivotal HH characters that get lost amidst all the Primarch superheroics and general military awesomeness, sort of an easter egg for the observant fan. She and many other characters are kept in the sidelines, away from all the fighting and the action. But, In a sense, Keeler, Karkasy, Oliton and others help shape the world of the 41st millenium as much as Horus himself.

I really enjoy it when human characters appear in the books. It helps a lot to get into the setting. And when they are important and play a significant role, it is even better.
Less bolter porn and primarch "dragon ball Z" fights and more human interactions, please.
Another example: Cyrene in The First Heretic.
