If he was truly perfect he wouldn't need to create imperfect beings to love. You say he needs nothing from us... his creating us contradicts that.

It's not like there was this super powerful guy who got lonely and made toys to play with. You only see a contradiction because you have an impoverished concept of God. God is completely in act across all eternity. He has no remaining potential needing to be actualized. He is unchanging, thus the act of Creation produces no change in Him. It merely manifests and attests to His perfection.
