Eh, this makes dex even more powerful than it already is so I'm hesitant. Plus it would unbalance the weapons. Currently:
-The best simple finesse weapon is a dagger, for 1d4 damage.
-The best martial finesse weapon is a rapier, for 1d8 damage, but it isn't light.
-The best martial light finesse weapons are the scimitar/shortsword, tied for 1d6 damage.

So a "simple finesse 2H spear" would be an incredibly overpowered simple finesse weapon.
And a "martial versatile and/or light finesse spear" would invalidate the scimitar and the shortsword.

A relatively balanced option is a martial spear, dealing 1d10 piercing damage with the "finesse" and "two-handed" properties. If it's big enough to be wielded in two hands, it probably shouldn't be "light."
If you want a finesse version of the pike, then 1d6 piercing with the "finesse", "two-handed", and "reach" properties (for comparison, the other "reach"+"finesse" weapon is the whip, dealing only 1d4 damage).
