If I remember correctly, the main reason for the curve is indeed the tempering process but it was done to create differential hardening. The exposed edge becomes hard as it cools fast which makes it great for edge retention (for keeping sharpness) but brittle, while the spine that cools down slowly remains softer to keep the sword integrity even when the edge may break. That's why traditional katanas bend on strong impact - it's great to preserve the sword and repair it at a swordsmith.
The clay also creates the hamon line.
The curve does help in edge alignment in cutting which makes it somewhat easier for beginners to cut with vertically (*somewhat* - there's still a lot of practice needed)

Curved blades are traditionally most popular in areas of extreme heat. In these areas wearing heavy/bulky armor makes death/debilitation by heat exhaustion/heat stroke more common than battlefield injury. If the climate is also humid keeping metal armor free of rust is time consuming and expensive. Against such lightly or non-armored targets slashing is more effective than thrusting. This is why in places like Japan and India curved swords became common/popular, while in most of Europe straight edge blades tended to dominate.
