You didn’t answer my questions. Why did Jesus do it and why did He allow Peter, James, and John to witness it? We aren’t talking about me here. We are talking about Jesus, Moses, and Elijah and Peter, James, and John.
At the risk of “reading your mind,” I would guess that you don’t know the answer to the questions, since you haven’t answered satisfactorily.

Matthew 17
1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us[a] make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”
There are not exact answers to the question why. Neither of us will agree with the other on the why's. What is more concrete is what is says to do and even that is something we can't agree on. The bible says how to pray and we are discussing why the transfiguration happened.
And don’t forget to mention, Jesus lived within the Law.
