Because that is in His nature to give out of His excess and yet costs Him nothing. It is like seeing a smiling person who makes you smile. They are completely happy prior to your notice and remain happy regardless of how you respond. The pleasure you take from the other person's smile takes nothing away from him.

How can a perfectly complete being have excess? Excess is a manifestation of inefficiency.
