No.
Not to diminish from what God's purpose for creating man is, but there is one foremost reason why God created everything.
And that is:
God created man(and all the universe) for His pleasure.
And subsequently man(and all creation) finds his meaning and purpose in God.
For His pleasure, or His glory?
How about:
Many people today, whether they know it or not, technically qualify as adherents to a worldview known as Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD). MTD is the view that God created humanity with the main goal of providing for humans and making them happy. MTD can be summarized with five statements:
1. A God exists who created and orders the world and watches over human life on earth.
2. God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions.
3. The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself.
4. God does not need to be particularly involved in one’s life except when God is needed to resolve a problem.
5. Good people go to heaven when they die.
