Perhaps to clear his conscience, to die with a clean soul.

Dimmesdale finally confesses because it was eating at his core. He needed to come clean with everything because he was suffering and when he got it all out he was finally able to die and for him that was a relief from living a lie.
I had to read this book in english last year so that is the only reason why I know. LoL!
I hoped I helped and Good Luck!
