He continues to lose in court. I don't know why he bothers.

Because it's enormously beneficial for him. It makes him popular with his voters, which maintains his political power within the GOP.

Trump has turned out to be an incredibly canny politician. He knows that it's important to have the right enemies, to have the right opponents...and to be seen as fighting against those opponents.

By fighting tooth and nail against them, Trump pleases his supporters and demonstrates his commitment to doing what they want. That's true regardless of whether his actions hold up in court.
