1) Creating disturbes
They need the disturbes to force Catalonian people to radicalize and take part pushed by the tread of violence, real or felt (Those 893 people beaten equals to the 0,01% of the total population.
And they need it also as bait for fishing international actors, much needed to legitimate the actions taken. "Look how mistreated we are by this evil people", "look how oppressed we are". We have earned with our suffering the right to be free and have a country. Would you don't please recognise our small, hopeful and happy new country?
Yes, this is what they are saying now and this is how manipulative are they.
2) Justifying the largely announced declaration of secession
Declaring that "invent random number here" therefore the majority of people asked for it in a "democratic referendum", even if the referendum was a total mess, there are arguments to consider that many votes are fake and miraculously, we have still 2 millions of votes pro-independency after hundred of electoral tables where closed and urns confiscated by the government. Not much different to saying that, after everybody in the room has taken a piece of pizza, we still have the entire pizza in the box.
3) maybe (I'm talking hypothetically now) divert funds to pay the fines put by jury by previous separatist events to the former politicians at charge
4) and maybe being so obnoxious that will obligate the central government to take drastic measures, providing a safe exit for the politicians that promised independence for years to its public but can't do it and really don't want it.
Whereas allowing the wheel to keep spinning of course ("I really wanted to declare the independence and live happy forever, but the bad guys do not allow me to do this, we need to keep trying harder").
