Okay a better word "in spite of" so why did Jesus do this, go to the cross, being perfect?
Or do you not believe Jesus to be perfect?

He went to the cross for crimes against Jewish law, namely blasphemy and stirring up the people. According to roman law, he was innocent, at least based on the reports of pilot.
Your claim that he is perfect is tied to your belief that he is God, as God by definition is perfect. However, this is a belief based on faith with some confirming evidence. If I do not take it on faith then I do not see any good reason to think that this man Jesus was not human like everyone else. Then the question of perfection becomes subjective.
As far as His death being for my sins, that is also taken on faith, based mostly on the words of Paul (earliest writings).
Evidence of personal experience and changes in one's life are strong indications of the effect belief on these words will have but they are not conclusive evidence of causation between the death of Jesus and forgiveness of sins/new life. (In my humble opinion)
