Your Answer for Question 1:
C doesnt need them all, it only needs "If" and GOTO. The designers probably included them all to make life simpler and easier for the programmer since humans tend to think better when the way statements work imitate how things work in real life.

Your Answer for Question 2:
C statements for decisions:

If
If-else
else if
While
do while
for
switch
etc.

MIPS:

beq
bne
slt

The designers of MIPS kept the number of statements for making decisions small, because smaller is faster =)

Your Answer for Question 3:
I thought it was interesting how you could translate C decision statements and loops into assembly using only a small handful of assembly instructions. Abstraction is cool =)
