If you know exactly what needs to be done, why do all the extra work to be able to divide it into sprints?

The whole point of sprints is that requirements are allowed to change, just not more frequently than there are sprints.

you have it in sprints because you have a deadline so you can see how well you are progressing towards your goal by seeing how many issues are fixed in their sprint, going over to next sprint etc. It's not a lot of extra work to divide it into sprints, especially as you have people whose tasks are to divide things into sprints and keep track of things.
