Myrrh is valuable, and the wise men wanted to show respect to the birth of the Savior.
AnswerIt is natural when visiting a new-born baby to bring a gift, and Matthew tells us that the wise men brought gifts of great value, worthy of a new-born king. However it is well to consider that Matthew was writing Christian midrash. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among the people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi (wise men) were not actual people.
