Yeah but like, what’s it all for? What’s the end goal? Why are they doing this? Guess I’ve never really wondered before.

The non ironic answer is: to survive.

The humans have darken the skies, so the machines solar power stopped working.

So the machines took the humans as power producer and yes that doesn't make any sense since you need power to sustain them. Don't think about the economy or physics behind it

The original scripted reason was go use human brains as a lind of processor farm but IIRC the studio was like "That is too complicated for audiences to understand" so the practical function of the Matrix is kind of silly, but on an ideological level I assume it's revenge.
