The purpose of the Eucharist is to make us united with Christ spiritually since we no longer see him in the physical and visible reality of life. If Christ is present now I guess we would not need the Eucharist because His living presence would suffice all our lack. So, it is the Eucharist that builds that inner spiritual craving and intimacy in us with the Lord.

.

Likewise, it is the Eucharist that will lead us toward the Kingdom where he Himself reigns. It will be our earthly foundation an escatological reality.

Actually the question assumes facts incorrectly. Most Catholics do not receive these two sacraments together. Part of the challenge is logistical-only a Bishop can confirm a catholic while ordinary priests can perform first eucharist. The majority of Catholics are born into the church and the normal process is to have First Eucharist and Confirmation as separate events years apart.
