Achilles didn't NEED armor, of course, because he was invincible. However, to the Bronze Age Greeks, armor equaled identity. Your armor was much more than mere protection. It told the people around you who you were, who your family was, how rich in bronze they could afford to be. You'll notice, for example, that Diomedes has a boar's head on his shield, Ajax has the biggest shield of all the heroes, etc. (Even the gods wear armor, you'll notice.) So even if Achilles didn't need armor, he would have wanted it because your armor was a reflection of your identity as a Greek, a warrior, and a hero.
