Why?  What could possibly motivate such a being to create or do anything?  God knows everything and can do everything.  God is complete and unchanging.  How could such a being possibly have any motivation whatsoever?

The concept is completely pointless for the reasons you say.

If God already had everything , which "all powerful" would denote, there would be no need to do anything. If it would anyway, then humans are nothing but his toys, lab rats. 

I've said this many times before, and I stand by it. "God/god/gods/deities/spirits" are nothing more than our species projections of our own desires to have control over our environment. Evolution drives life to continue, and humans do not like the prospect of being finite. So in our early evolution we made up bad guesses as to what was regulating our lives and the world and projected our human qualities on the world around us in fictional fantastic super natural form.
