Christians proselytize because they truly believe that it is a good act. If the Christian God really exists, then converting unbelievers is the better course of action as opposed to simply letting them be.
Imagine yourself as an engineer who has just discovered something very wrong with a Boeing 747. You are certain that the aircraft is unsafe for flight, but the airline's managers disagree and insist that the aircraft is fine. Given that the Boeing 747 is due for takeoff in a day or two, would you not do your best to convince them otherwise, even if they were firm in their beliefs and had no wish to suffer your technical arguments?
Now suppose that you genuinely believe that God exists, and that people who do not believe in God are heading for eternal damnation. Would you not try to save them, regardless of what they would like to believe?
