Actually your all fairly wrong. Carar was created by the precursors as way of alterring the dna of other life forms. You see the Carar virus kills its host by attacking its dna. So it can be assumed that its intended purpose was to alter dna. This would theoretically allow them to create a viral cure to basic diseases, by making it so that your body already knows how to fight these diseases. it would also allow them to tweak pretty much any underwater ecosystem they came across. The possible uses for such a bacterium would be limitless. Unfortunatly, it escaped containment long before it was ready for any kind of commercial use. The precursors hadnt developed a cure for it yet, so they went to this planet to do some research. They wanted to see if the secret to a cure lied within this vast ecosystem. So they created a base, and systematically infected captured specimens to observe there immune responses. Then along came the sea dragon leviathon. It destored the secondary research facility, and the carar bacterium was released into the local envirnment. This prompted the space gun to activate, and cut the planet off from the rest of the galaxy. It is unknown if the precursors ever did cure Carar before there species was wiped out, but thats not what subnautica is about.
