The only reason for using a microphone with spatial characteristics of the ear would be if one was going to bypass the ear. Since most recordings are made for and actually are played on speakers that radiate sound to the ears, there is no reason to duplicate the HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) of the human head and ear.
OTOH, if one was going to listen via transducers in, or on, the ear, thereby eliminating one's own HRTF, then it would make sense to include it in the recording process. In fact, for such binaural recordings, a common method is to use a "dummy head" with the mic elements in ear-like protrusions on each side.
If you need more, google HRTF.
