Because the Godhead is really a family. . .and to be Father. . .and Mother. . .you have to have children.
Few people seem to know this. . .and something the Church would prefer not having to explain in any meaningful detail. . .the concept of the "trinity" came from a branch of Egyptian religion. . .a worship of repetition. . .where the meditation and concentration is on the holy family of Osiris-Isis-Horus. Over time, this became God the Creator (Father), God the Sustainer (Mother - the Comforter), and God the Redeemer (Son - Christ. . .or. . .the person Jesus in the divine office of Christ. . .so Jesus the Christ). . .and through mankind's redemption. . .becoming the "sons and daughters of G-d" so as to be part of this family and trinity.
Philosophy and logic may justify your question from the standpoint that "Love" cannot exist without being "loved". . .but the truth of the matter is the concept of G-d and his people is in the context of a family relationship. . .for, the lower mirrors the nature of the higher. . .and as mankind throughout the ages has tended to its young and old through the family unit (irrespective of how functional or disfunctional the unit may be!). . .this is the belief and understanding of how G-d brought us into being in the first place!
Hope this helps.

First HE created the Angels,and put a SuperAngel over them...This being REBELLED against GOD and left GOD with NO choice but to REPRODUCE HIMSELF!--This is where YOU come in! HUMANS are in the very image of GOD! We LOOK like GOD,and can even learn to THINK like GOD! Eventually we will RULE in GOD's ROYAL FAMILY! Since GOD was the only Being left that could be relied upon NEVER to break His own Laws of Supreme LOVE--He created US to become His very SONS and DAUGHTERS! This is all throughout the Bible! Satan and his rebel followers of demons will SOON BE REPLACED--BY YOU AND I if we are WILLING!!!!!

God created Adam to resemble him and to have dominion as He has dominion. God over Heaven, man over Earth.

The best answer I can give you apart from saying that He put Adam in the Garden of Eden to keep it and told him and Eve to multiply and have dominion over the world is that He wanted to have creatures like Himself in his creation whom He would love and one day make his eternal children.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm, 4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in his presence. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will, 6 so that we would praise his glorious grace that he gave us in the Beloved One. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us, along with all wisdom and understanding, 9 when he made known to us the secret of his will. This was according to his plan that he set forth in Christ 10 to usher in the fullness of the times and to gather up all things in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In Christ we were also chosen when we were predestined according to the purpose of the one who does everything according to the intention of his will, 12 so that we who had already fixed our hope on Christ might live for his praise and glory.

he didn't. this is a silly myth, created long ago by ancient peoples strugglng to understand their world. survey myths cross-culturally and you will learn we come from mud, clay, water, cookies, turtles, you name it.
best guess is that elements created over billions of years in the furnaces of stars fell to earth over eons, as comets and meteors crashed into the planet. these elements floated in water for a very long time, often getting struck by lightening. over time, this joined elements, and life began to evolve.
very far into the process, primate arose, including us.
