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.

The name Jesus comes from the Greek - iesous - which is a transliteration of the Hebrew "Joshua. Joshua means "Jehovah is salvation," i.e., "is the Saviour," it is a common name among the Jews. From his name we can see Jesus is God and the saviour. His work was to be the lamb of God- a suitable sacrifice for sin.
Prophets are called by God, to tell man what God wants man to know, philosophers are using their knowledge and reasoning only.
