THE QUESTION IS NOT "WHAT IS THIS ALL FOR" but rather "how do I get into a situation where I don't need to ask that question.

if you are an intellectual, no answer will ever be satisfactory--tough luck.

if you are not an intellectual, then you got your religion or your zen karma thing whatever.

for the non-intellectual it's easy, good bye.

for the intellectual, WTF.

but psychologically, can I be in a state where that question ceases to be relevant?

if I go cure AIDS or do painting for the rest of my life, will that cure this existential problema?

or do you just accept it and compare life to objects worse off... like oh, at least I have flesh, I could be like that rock which really has no purpose.
