Summary: 


This is a very good question.  None of the suggested answers seem
to be accurate, though the first one may be close.  I don't think
we can say God was lonely because He already had communion with
Himself.

I don't think the Bible gives us much clues except that God seem
s to be in to creating and love.  The angels were His servants, but
we became His friends.  Maybe God wanted someone that He could care
for and love.  Why do people have children?  Perhaps we can make
a correlation.
