There's nothing better than being; apparently you want more—memories, experiences, knowledge, love, goals & desire, I can't offer them to you, but most if not all people existing learn to feed off these and strive throughout their whole lifetimes in order to attain some measure of happiness that can be extracted from any of the above. You say you have reached your zenith, gone and gained as much as you can? Envision an even grander scheme of life that not only satisfies you, but seeks to better the communities in which you interact and influence.
Although you make the argument that nothing matters because we all must die eventually, I could see it conversely, in that every single moment in our finite time of breathing and being is significant because the end only comes once, and we'll never remember it anyway.
