Because perfection is an ideal - it will always be pursuable because it will never be reached.
When our reachable goals are reached, what is left for us to do is to pursue ideals. Perfection is the optimization of all ideals.
A perfect thing would be:
1. Completely clear (have no internal confusion) and completely distinct (not be confusable with any other thing),
2. Completely coherent (have no internal conflicts) and completely compatible (not be in conflict with any other thing),
3. Numerically complete (lack no necessary parts) and completely simple (have no unnecessary parts).

Because man is stupid! ;-)
No, seriously: I think perfectionism is necessary for development. If we took everything the (imperfect) way it was we wouldn't ever invent anything new (and therefore we would never have developed into humans and stayed apes)

It is only personal accomplishment that drives people to be the best they can be. I have met many people who live life as "That's good enough". I do not force people to be perfect around me, but what I do I would like to be the best. Personal preference.

Because, man (man includes woman) is perfectly imperfect.

this is a famous thought for Men:
1. All men are extremely busy.
2. Although they are so busy, they still have time for women.
3. Although they have time for women, they don't really care for them.
4. Although they don't really care for them, they always have one Around.
5. Although they always have one around them, they always try their Luck with others.
6. Although they try their luck with others, they get really pissed off If the women leaves them.
7. Although the women leaves them they still don't learn from their Mistakes and still try their luck with others

The true value of perfectness just lies in the process of its pursuing.
