Because, like nearly every king or conquerer in history, he was a megalomaniac. Alexander had a strong belief in spreading Greek culture.
Or:
He established over 70 Greek-style city-states in the ex-Persian Empire to act as models of Greek civilisation which he hoped would become fashionable and sweep through the east. He called half of them after Macedonian associates, the other half after himself in each region. It could be claimed that he wanted his name to be a beacon pointing the way forward. On the other hand, modesty was not one of his virtues.
