Pravin: [Heat spreader] must have better thermal conduction than the heatsink, and help fan out the energy flow from the die to the heatsink; giving a larger and more efficient energy collection area on the heatsink side.

No. Consider it just another resister for the heat to get through before reaching the air. That said, it is more forgiving of lousy grease/heatsink application jobs than the bare die since there's vastly more area to work with.
