Why is it important to be blessed by the rabbi in a bar mitzvah?
It is NOT important to be blessed by the rabbi when recognizing a child who has become a bar mitzvah. There is no such requirement. When it does happen, the Rabbi isn't actually blessing the child. The Rabbi is blessing God for the child, or asking God to bless the child. But this is not specifically done for a bar mitzvah.In Judaism, a rabbi is not a priest, and cannot bless objects or people. The concept of blessing in Judaism is more of a thanking. We bless God and we ask God to bless us. It is nothing like the Catholic concept of transubstantiation.

Who can do a bar mitzvah beside the rabbi?
A boy becomes bar mitzvah at age 13 with or without a celebration. It's a simple matter of age, being old enough to be counted in a minyan (the quorum required for communal religious services) and old enough to be held responsible for his own actions. It is traditional to allow the boy to lead at least part of a religious service to celebrate this, with a minyan present (10 adults, including the new young adult, traditionally all men). Any adult Jew can lead the service, including the bar mitzvah boy himself. No rabbi is needed to "do" it.
