He crowned himself in order to avoid any notion that he accepted the Pope as his overlord.
There is no truth to the tale (spread by the Duchess d'Abrantes) that Napoleon grabbed the crown from Pius VII as the Pope was about to crown him. The procedure, including the self-crowning, had been carefully planned, following negotiations with the Papacy.

He was a dictator like Hitler, I'm surprised he didn't crown him self a God.
