Because, upon analyzing the world, there must be a Unmoved Mover, First Cause, Uncaused Necessary Cause, Perfect Being, and Supremely Intelligent Being, which people call God.
The fourth and fifth way are extremely unconvincing. The first through third way don't necessarily point to a god. You've exaggerated the quality of your evidence, if I were to even call it that.
Perfect being? Platonic nonsense. That things can be ranked doesn't mean there is an ultimately supremely ranked thing inspiring them. Does there being varying degrees of tallness imply that there is an infinitely tall thing? No. At best it's an unproven conjecture.
The fifth way fails in that things behave the way they do because of their essence as material things and the behavior of forces. No intelligence required.
So we have three arguments that something must have started the chain of being. That doesn't get you to God.
