Let's say one achieves perfection, so then what is the purpose of existence at that point? There's nothing left to do. One might say to help others reach perfection. But that will just continue until there is nothing left in the Universe to perfect. Motion would cease, existence would no longer be. Without opposing forces there is no movement. How can this be? The purpose of existence is to cease to exist? Why would we want to achieve perfection if it renders existence obsolete?

Existence is not rendered obsolete through the spiritual work. Such an assumption implies that God has no purpose, which is a very strange and alien concept within esoterism. That is rather a belief commonly held by atheists, not initiates.
The purpose of the spiritual work is to become more active as a consciousness, more useful for humanity, as symbolized by the Cosmic Christ: Avalokiteshvara. Christ consciousness is pure activity as a level of being. Even though there is peace and equanimity in the state of a God, the Lord manifests and expresses across countless planets, solar systems, galaxies and infinites. Just because a human being reaches perfection does not mean there is no more to do: in fact, we can state that the path has only truly begun. According to one Sufi master, "The path to God is short. The path in God is infinite."
It is also the law and obligation of Christ to help new souls achieve Christification upon reaching our own. The law of Christ is sacrifice. Just as we have been helped with this knowledge, so too must we help others if we indeed achieve self-realization.

Joyful in hope, suffering in tribulation, be thou constant in thy prayer.
