Why did Dr. Gero design the Androids with pain receptors?

A huge flaw in his design IMO. Is this not obvious to anyone else? >_<

Better than Red.

How else would they know they are about to be destroyed?
Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind.

19? They had to know when they were approaching critical levels.

17 and 18? Kai notes that he kidnapped the twins and experimented on them to make them into cyborgs, so they still have human emotions. That explains 18s love of clothes and feelings toward Krillin, as well as 17s need for fun and letting the others go in that timeline

I don't think they do.
Chapter 341 (DBZ 147), P11.1
Context: after Goku beats up on No.19
Yamcha: “L-look. Despite being that beat up, he seems fine…”
Tenshinhan: “He’s an android. He probably doesn’t have pain or fatigue…”

17 and 18 might since they're mostly human.

the cyborgs still have their organic nervous system. the androids probably don't feel pain, per se, but instead have some damage notification system (which is essentially the same thing, since that is the function of pain).
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god

It isn't a design flaw, the very definition of Android is synthetic human. It is built to approximate the functionality of a real human.

Sparking!

Technically an android doesn't need to feel pain to know it's breaking down, just as a computer doesn't need to feel pain to point out fatal errors. Pain is a human weakness, Gero wouldn't rationally incorporated it into his design (also he didn't seem to be in pain after being decapitated by 17, same with 16). The pain 18 and 17 might experience would be residual human functionality.

EDIT:
similar to what lunar said.
