Why do you think the bronchi branch extensively into tiny air tubes?

Because you want as much air to dissolve into your blood as possible. If you have loads of tiny air sacks then the rate that air is dissolved into your blood is greatly improved. If you ever get a chance to see a dissection of a lung then i recommend it, it makes understanding the lungs a lot easier.
