I think the answer is much more ho-hum: Henry was a stand-in. A plot device
used as needed and then discarded by the writer (be that Spielberg or
Kubrick). Henry was needed to bring David on the scene, but once there was
love between the mother and child, he was needed to instigate their
separation. And then he was unnecessary.

FWIW, I thought the movie was extremely disappointing - not just as THE
SPIELBERG/KUBRICK EPIC, but as a movie, period. I'd outline all the problems
I had with it, but I've written about them far too extensively in a number
of other forums, and I'm all AI-ed out.
