I'm talking about carnal bodies not spiritual bodies or course.

I mean if we are spirits, why do we need bodies? Angels do just fine without carnal bodies!

First of all, the indicator for a soul existing is life itself. This means animals and plants have souls but are mortal souls which go into non-existence once they die. Human beings are the only visible creatures with an intellectual soul; an ability to know our Creator.
God is spirit. He cannot be seen. If you were to examine all the creatures, the CREATOR has made a pattern emerges: angels and demons are intellectual creatures without a body; plants and animals do not have an intellect but a body and mortal soul. IT IS ONLY LIVING, HUMAN, BEINGS, that have a MIND, BODY, and SOUL. Only human beings have all three. Now, living, human, being is the existence of man. Those words describe the essence of man's mind, body, and soul. The Body is living, the Mind makes us human and distinguishing us from animals, and our Soul makes us the being that we become (good or evil).
Now, even Muslims will agree Allah is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (ever present). These words describe the existence of God. So, what is the essence of God? I will hold off answering this question till the end.
Now, if you think about the existence of a person they have a triple existence: physical (body), mental (mind), and spiritual (eternal soul). In fact, whenever we create something it has all three of these parts. When we cook we have a recipe (in our mind), we gather all the raw ingredients, and we cook (don't burn it, ha ha) what it is we are making. Cooking has the physical, mental, and spiritual parts. Same with engineering or technology it has three parts: the blueprints (to convey an idea), the raw materials (physical), and the workmanship (spiritual). If something goes wrong investigators will look for a design flaw, material flaw, or faulty workmanship. THIS DEMONSTRATES CREATION HAS THREE PARTS LIKE THE CREATOR.
Now, in the Bible it says Jesus is the visible likeness of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15) The ESSENCE OF GOD IS: Father (mental), Son (physical), Holy Ghost (spiritual). ONE TRUE GOD IN THREE JUST LIKE A PERSON. THREE PARTS ONE PERSON. When you are sick you send for a doctor; when you are mentally troubled, a psychiatrist; when spiritually seeking you seek out a holy person.
I can go into a lot more details and have charts and diagrams to explain these concepts. This should do for now.

I see that you have a religious perspective on this.
I believe that we are all trapped energy (soul or spirit) but it has been theorized that all matter is trapped energy.
As for why we need bodies - we only need them for a hundred years or less and then it is on to the next experience.
In regard to your follow up about angels - I don't believe in them so I cannot fairly comment.

You are not just an spirit. You are a complex being formed of spirit and body. That is a human, and that is the way you will return at the end of the time.
It is not because we need a body, it is because we were created that way.

To exist in a world where experience is possible there needs to be duality. To achieve a choice between God and the illusion of not God, knowledge of Truth must be limited. In order to allow us the choice to express our understanding of God or not (in relation to everything) a universe of the relative is needed.Christians call it worshiping God out of free will.
We need our bodies and the universe so that our understanding of God may be forgotten and free will achieved by hiding our perception of God.
