If this is true the "future" ( a possible afterlife ) doesn't matter. Or not?

I know that you know that dead is dead and that all functions familiar to life will cease permanently at the moment of death... including memory and consciousness.
There is no after-death life. The notion is laughable.

No, As a Christian you will die and go to heaven and live everlasting life. One example of the soul keeping its memory is the story of the beggar, Lazarus, and the rich man who go to paradise and hell respectively. These individuals know who they are and where they are in the afterlife.
Don't let people confuse you with the idea that one goes to sleep when they die. When you die your body separates from the soul and spirit. The body returns to dust but will be resurrected and reunited with the righteous souls when Jesus returns. The idea that when you die and go into a suspended animation does not hold up when you examine the bible.
Check out Luke 16:19-26. Some will say this is a parable. But it is not. Jesus' parables never refer to a person by name. When Jesus refers to a person by name it must be so (Jesus never lies). So Lazarus the beggar must be a real person and these events must have actually occurred.

The energy that fuels your physical body does not disintegrate at death. It restructures itself. It molds itself anew as you return to your original essence of being light. Your memory will remain intact. Your light will shine more brilliantly. You will still be you. And yes indeed, it does matter. It matters how you live more so than how you die, for who you are as the result of how you live is who you will become. It always matters.

Every thing of the world will be left behind in Heaven. So I guess it depends on the memory.

If you are worried about remembering your past after you die, don't. at the judgment, every thing you have done will be knowen to be answered for, good or bad and in heaven or hell you wont need a memory.

Memory starts to dissappear before you die. Mine has already started.

who is to say... perhaps one day through science, it will be possible to upload into a computer all your memories. Once you are dead, you are dead... so you'll never remember them, but some future scientist might be able to "read" them like a book

Nope.
You'll retain your memories, your feelings, your thoughts, your sense of identity....you'll use your inner senses instead of your physical senses...
everything that is relative and subjective about you is retained whether you are in matter or outside of matter...no matter where you find yourself.... and yes, it matters.

To have memory you would need a brain

If you're dead you have no cognitive activity. If you have no cognitive activity, you will have no memory. Death is, therefore, the loss of everything.
