Unfortunately, the universe cares not for the desires of human beings and their need to have everything "ultimately matter."
What you have basically said is that the afterlife makes sense, because that's how you want things to be. Besides, just because nothing you've deemed important won't be important in a trillion years doesn't mean that stuff isn't still important now.
