There was a theory I read where someone believes the Dread Doctors are trying to manufacture these Chimeras in order to duplicate the supernatural healing process. They based it around that one scene where we see a Dread Doctor's scarred arm was like... deflated until they injected the green goo into it and it "healed." I use "healed" very loosely because it just seemed to restore the muscle mass, it didn't make the scars disappear.

Another theory I read was that they're trying to see if they can ressurect the dead so that, in the case that one, or two, of them die, the remaining one can replicate the process and bring the other two back. It was stated that the DD's prolonged their lifespan, but we don't know by how many years. Going off of the fact that the DD's bodies seem to be dying (see above), I think it's safe to say they're not immortal and they're trying to find a way to overcome death.

But as Alpha said, we don't know much about them besides the fact that they're pseudo-supernatural scientists that are carrying out these experiments for an unknown reason. Until we know more about them, they could be trying to build a Chimera Football team for all we know.
