That's modalism, pretty sure it's heresy

while the trinity is difficult and not fully explainable through human terms, the basic point is that it arises from God's endless love and knowledge of himself.
Let's put it this way. God is love, and love is essentially a relationship. You cannot love someone if there isn't someone to love. And humanity wasn't always there for God to love, so how could God love if he was not a Holy Trinity? The Father is the Subject of that infinite Love. Love needs an object, that is the Son. Subject and Object need a means to exchange that love between each other, so the exchange of love between Father and Son begets the Holy Spirit.
Without the Trinity God can neither know himself fully, nor can he be love.
