> we should care...

But that's my question: if there is no afterlife, why?

Are you asking really to ask, or is this a entrance into a philosophical debate?

The answers so far are a little snark, however this topic has been debated for a long time and most of the pro/cons can be listed rather easily.

for one, it is just rhetorical, nobody knows if there is really no afterlife. Every bad you did might be a Jira ticket in hell now.

Do you care about people _now_, even though their existence is finite and at some point anything you may or may not have done to affect them will cease mattering?
