Colossians 1:16 says, “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”
We were created because it is in God’s nature to be creative. We were created so that we could relate to him. And yes, we were created to bring him glory.
I can see how one might think the last part is vain, but there are subtleties. First, God deserves all glory and honor, so no amount of exaltation could ever be excessive. Second, the one God exists in three Persons. His actions don’t just bring glory to himself but also to full Trinity. Each Person of the Trinity honors the other.

That’s always been a question for me.
Did God create us for the primary purpose of worshiping him?
I'm not sure if you want to actually have that conversation, but surrendering your will to God is "worshipping" God. Which takes many, many forms - especially on Earth.
It doesn't only mean "worship" in the sense of how you think about it.
