At the risk of sounding flippant, why not? For what reason or reasons should God have not created the devil even if he was going to fall? Just because God knows what will happen doesn't mean that the person (angel) isn't free to make choices. Satan freely chose to rebel against God. God knew this would happen. Nevertheless, let me offer some possible reasons why God would create Satan even though He knew he would fall and rebel.
It was necessary to have the fall so that God could then have a reason to die for our sins thereby demonstrating that God can and does provide the greatest act of love which is to lay ones life down for his friend (John 15:13).
The fall of Satan provides yet another method for God to be glorified in that God can use sin to prove that sin is "bad" and that God's word about righteousness is true.
If God is to have creatures with free will, then the risk of rebellion is part of that freedom. Satan had that freedom and used it to rebel.
If God had not created Satan and instead another angel fell, then we'd be asking why God made that angel knowing he would fall.
God has reasons that we simply do not know about.
I know my children will act badly at times, but knowing that does not mean mean that I shouldn’t have kids. Part of the risk of freedom is that rebellion will be a reality.

Where there is God, no devil can exist.
Any living being is driven by four instincts. Hunger, sleep, sex and fear.
Devil is non existant but exists in the natural intutive imagination of man. Because of this naturally imbibed behaviour, man fears about Devil, whenever his faith on God almighty declines. HIS FEAR IS UNWANTED.

How darkness fallows light, downs fallow ups, death fallows birth, same way devils fallow gods. To elaborate your topic from practical point of view, the qualities of good and bad in humans represent god and devil. The person who is kind hearted, liberal, helpful, humane,guide and philosopher is a god. So scriptures say, " god dwells with in you. There is no need to go in search of him.Search your soul, you will find him. When god is residing in your heart your-self is god ". Other sect of people, who go against those positive acts are considered devils. Greedy, selfish, un- faithful, conspirators, back stabbers, and other evil spirited people come under devils category. They never search their souls, because they never have one.

If God is seen as only Good, evil needs to be explained. Hence the theological need for the devil.
If God is seen as beyond good and evil, no devil is necessary.

B'cos god wants to provoke human beings to do KARMA. If human beings stop doing their karmas and start depending on god entirely then devil will overtake them so in order to make us work effectively god has to exist with devils. He wants to check our will power and faith in him, so he exists with devils.

God "The Almighty" is only existing, Devil is just an imagination. It is written in "The Holy Bible" that Satan provokes Jesus by offering him the world itself. Since the Jesus as son of God who could not be provoked with offerings sustains out of all magical dramas of Satan(Lucifer). Lucifer requested power to provoke human beings with the "Almighty". Since Almighty is quite confident that his disciples wont be provoked under any circumstance allowed Lucifer to try his capacity with human beings . It is told to understand that the Lucifer is within us provided we are not controlling our mind and follows the temporary bodily happiness. or you have a desire, or a strong ambition the desire will drag you to wrong concepts which is a trick of Lucifer to drag you from your devotion to the Almighty.
