Catholic sacraments, much like many other forms of religious ritual, are believed to be pleasing in some way to God, as a form of symbolic submission to His will, and therefore, your spiritual condition and future will supposedly benefit from the sacraments. None of this has ever actually been proved (or disproved) so you are free to form your own opinion.
ANSWER:
Our Lord knew that WE would need the consistent spiritual strengthening/grace to live as faithful Christians. Christ instituted Sacraments ("very holy thing") to assist us in our spiritual journey in this life.
Our Lord did NOT institute sacraments for himself nor so that we could "prove" we are submitting to him. He decided we needed the graces we receive in each sacrament to help us submit to His will in other things. Sacraments are Christ's GIFT to us.
