I personally have no take on "why" death occurs, because I think it's outside the ability of myself to explain or understand. Going with the best philosophy I can though, death exists because all things are transient. Death is constant throughout life though, in that your personality and mentality are in a state of constant rebirth, held together by the slender strand of memory. Your cells are constantly dying, and by the time you completely fail biologically, none of you is the same as who you were born as, or who you graduated highschool as. Death also creates an amazing opportunity for intense insight, and the best opportunity for full enlightenment.
