Ike is a sustain tank. His job is to use Quick Riposte to get a free Aether when attacked and then heal back the damage he took. Which means he needs to live through the encounter, which means -Def, -Res, and -HP are all pretty bad for him, because none of those stats are so high that you can afford to weaken one. You can kind of make -Res work if you replace Warding Breath with Steady Breath and have him never engage magic/dragonbreath users, but honestly he functions best as a mixed tank so it's nice to leave Warding Breath on him (plus it's the default so no SI required). -Atk is right out, for obvious reasons, especially since his self-healing is based on total damage he does. -Spd is also bad because it means he gets doubled more often, and his defensive stats aren't so high that he wants to.

In short, Ike's base stats are almost exactly where they need to be. One of the few units in the game where balanced stats are optimal. It's actually really nice that they gave everyone a Neutral version!
