God did not need to rest (Rashi commentary, Exodus 31:17). Rather, God ceased creating, appearing to be resting, in order to give us that concept.

Why did God nee to take a rest after finishing His creation?

G-D did not need to take a rest. HE took a rest, because people need to rest up and sleep after working hard. To quote Christ Jesus: "Man was not created for the Sabbath, the Sabbath was created for Man." G-D rested because people need to rest up and therefore as a lesson to humans (created on the 6th day), take a rest and get some sleep after working hard.
