Without answering the unasked question of why Japan attacked the US in the first place, cementing its involvement in the war, the simple response would be "Japan wanted to win the war in order to be victorious". Why would anybody wish to lose?

Once Japan was at war with the Allied forces, it was a matter of honour and duty to vanquish the enemy, or to die in the effort- surrender was not permissable.
