Does the shariah have aims and objectives?

All these rules, is there a point?

As long as I'm not harming anyone and not being immodest, why should I cover up?

Can I avoid wearing hijab since it's a "barrier" for Dawah?

The benefits that the shariah is trying to achieve..,.

I'm a kind person with a good heart, I don't harm people, I don't even swear - why do I need to pray and fast?

Does the end justify the means...?
