Why does we still need StrictMath?

No, but my understanding is that JEP 306 does not apply to Math versus 
StrictMath behavior. In my understanding, the strictfp keyword was only 
about the use of extended exponent value set in Pentium 80 bits floating 
point values. It impacts the behavior of arithmetic operations + - * /, 
but my (maybe wrong) understanding is that it does not impact which 
processor instruction is used for implementing Math.sin, cos, etc.
