For the same reason we make New Year's resolution. It's an expectation, a goal, if you will--- that we make to try to do things that we are too lazy to do now. ;D
It's like the presidential speech... he gives this list of things he will make better, but he doesn't always do those things, but he wants to. He wants to be a better person. In some cases, they feel they will be better by just saying them instead of actually doing them, but we just want to make ourselves better people. We know that we are not perfect, and we try to improve it because it irritates us that we need improvement.

Why do you repeat your baptismal vows at confirmation?
Baptism makes a complete change in a person's soul making them into a child of God who can worthily praise God and make it to heaven. That change happens even if the child is an infant and does nothing himself. Once one is older one must sort of "claim" their baptism and live according to the promises that were made at that time. So, in a very real way, renewing one's baptism would be making the graces received real in the present. Everyone at Mass renews their Baptism at Easter as the priest leads them thorough the questions and answers from baptism and then sprinkles them with the new holy water.

What do the baptismal promises have to do with Confirmation?
At Baptism, the child's parents & godparents make the vows. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows for him/herself..Catholic ChurchIn the Catholic Church, Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, all of which are given at the same time, shortly after birth, except in the Latin Rite, in which they are separated. Thus the baptismal promises are an integral part of all three sacraments, but the sacrament of confirmation is just the strengthening of the Holy Spirit to live out those promises. In all but the Latin Rite, the confirmand is a newborn and much too young to "renew" the vows for himself. So the Baptismal promises are integral to all three, but the specific action of Confirmation is the strengthening by the Holy Spirit to live out those promises.
