Why were we here? So that we can ask why we are here. And why should we ask why we are here? Because we are here and can ask why we are here.
Pretty absurd actually.

All the creation was created because it was good in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis 1:31
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
We are fortunates and should be thankful that we are still around today, God wanted to destroy us, because man turned away from Him, with the Flood but he spared one man and his family to be the father of us all today. It was then that God created the rainbow as a remembrance that He shall never again attempt to destroy the creation that way again.
Genesis 9
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

As implied by the expressions “the Creator of the heavens,” and “God, who created all things,” there was a time when God was all alone. (Isaiah 42:5; Ephesians 3:9) No creation existed. So for an eternal past this God was all by himself and he had not yet become a Creator. That’s why the prophet Moses said in prayer to God: “Before mountains were born or earth and universe came to the pangs of birth, and from eternity to eternity, you are Deity.” (Psalm 90:2, Byington’s translation)
The time came when God purposed to become a Father. This did not mean to become the Creator of lifeless things, unintelligent things. It meant to give existence to living intelligent sons with some likeness to him their Father. Reasonably, God would produce sons who, like Himself, are heavenly, being spirit just as He is spirit. So they would be spirit sons, who could see him and have direct access into His presence and with whom he could communicate directly. The Holy Scriptures divide up these heavenly “sons of God” into at least three classes: Cherubs, Angels, and Seraphs.
The number of all these heavenly “sons of God,” the cherubs, the seraphs and the angels, runs into the millions. The prophet Daniel in Babylon was inspired to write concerning the vision that he had of a heavenly court scene: “I kept on beholding until there were thrones placed and the Ancient of Days sat down. . . . There were a thousand thousands that kept ministering to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand [= 100,000,000] that kept standing right before him.
A true father produces a family because he loves children. With nothing short of a loving motive, Jehovah God purposed to become father to children of a new nature; not of the spirit nature, not of the heavenly nature. Theirs would be a nature less refined than that of the spirit nature -- that of flesh and blood, or human nature – which would subject them to certain limitations. But, this would work no hardship for them and would be perfectly enjoyable. The creating of children of this lower nature was not because the heavenly Father had become dissatisfied with his vast family of spirit sons or needed something new and additional with which to provide new entertainment for himself. Rather, it was to display still further the greatly diversified wisdom of God as a Creator, and also to expand his love to still other creatures.

Human beings were created to understand that they do not belong to this material world. The animals cannot understand this.

God said He created man for His good pleasure. I think to delve too far into that might be to fall into the no, no land of thinking I/we know what He thinks.
But given the overall flavor that scripture brings to light, its fair to say that He enjoys us, interacting, watching us live and grow. I'm streching this, but it might be akin to the longing that a woman feels in wanting a baby, and the joy she and her husband have in watching it grow, and learn. Obviously, this is just my idea...but I think its pretty accurate....at least as far as man can understand God or His ways.

Because GOD wanted to create them.
He wanted something that was made that would love him of their on free will. The angels already loved God.

For God's pleasure... and to worship him... if they so choose of their own free will.
