Now, if Mary was always pure and sinless, why did she go through the purification period?

One might as well ask, if Jesus was God incarnate, why on earth would he need to go through the rigamarole of being "presented in the temple according to the law of Moses?"

Excellent point! Salvation made a similar comment with regards to Mary.
