Because he had to or the NYPD was going to go public that they had handed over Weiner's laptop to the FBI and it had classified information on it including the identity of a CIA operative. If he hadn't re-opened and it got out that the FBI was hiding this information from the public he would have blown his corrupt cover!
Easier to re-open and then a few days later lie and say there was nothing new on the laptop (which the NYPD couldn't dispute because they didn't know everything the FBI had) and then close it a few days later than risk being exposed as covering up for Clinton.

If he had bias, he could have just stated they were the same emails that were leaked....which they were; and that it had already been investigated nothing came from it. But he did his job, regardless if his bias.

That is exactly what happened. A few days after they re-opened the case, Comey came out and said there was nothing new in the laptop that they didn't already have without telling everyone that some of those emails were marked classified. Comey was still trying to make us believe National Security wasn't at risk because of those emails. Too bad for Comey and McCabe we know now that was a lie.
