Because he wants us to know Him and build a relationship with Him. He said about Abraham in Isaiah 41:8 "Abraham my friend". He loves us and if we search for Him in His Word and obey Him, He draws close to us and we can see Him as our friend, our best friend.
Also, His name has a special meaning. It comes from a verb which means "to become", and a number of scholars feel that it reflects the causative form of that Hebrew word. In other words His name means "He Causes to Become". That meaning well fits His role as the Creator of all things and the Fullfiller of His purpose. He not only caused the physical universe and intelligent beings to exist, but as events unfold, he continues to cause His will and purpose to be realized. Knowing that, we are sure we can trust and have faith in Him because we know that He will fullfill His promises.
The reason why God told his name is so that it would not be forgotten throughout all the generations. His name, YHWH (Yehowah), was written in the Tanakh over 6000 times. And if we read The Bible it states: Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, whosoever shall call on the name of YHWH (Yehowah) shall be delivered:It is very important to know his name.
God himself is infinite and beyond our limited understanding. It is through His actions and attributes that we can comprehend a little about Him. God's names are windows to understanding His ways and attributes.See the Related Link.

Yahweh is interpreted as God's name often first mentioned in Exodus 6:3 but it is interpreted that God first described his name to Moses as "I AM THAT I AM" or "I AM WHO I AM" in Exodus 3:14 which is God's description of himself in the first-person and Yahweh means "He Is" which is Moses' perspective of God in the second-person.
