You tell me. I mean... Present a logical argument why he should. What we have is reality. Unless you can present a plausible alternative that we should spend any time on. I don't see any objections from you.
I'm trying to make your argument for you, and you keep coming back with this question. If you follow the Judaic heritage, God already made angels, and then animals. One being already with him, and one never with him. Then he made humans to bridge the divide.
So if this guess is correct, your objection to circumventing reality already happened.
