What does such a God have a need of me or you falling to our knees in adoration to assuage?
Your question is without a point. Regardless of your personal intuition that an omnipotent, eternal, all-knowing being would not need puny humans, people who worship the God of the Bible accept that Yahweh does indeed desire the company of humans and does care what they do and what's in their hearts. The Bible, particularly the Old Testament attributes lots of fairly human-like qualities to God, and the God with those traits is the one Christians worship. They don't worship the unfeeling stone you picture God to be.
Remember that he was around for millennia without us to stroke his Omni ego.
Whatever. Apparently the billions of years that it takes to create a universe with evolved, intelligent people in it does not have the same effect on God that you anticipate it would have on you. No big deal. You aren't God.

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
