Humans are sinful and not capable of obeying them as God requires them to be obeyed.

If so, why did God even give Moses the Ten Commandments?

God has never made any demands on humans that are absolutely impossible for them to obey.

Sure He has.

The Law. The Ten Commandments.

Matthew 5:48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Are YOU perfect as God is perfect?

The Law was given to lead us to Christ.

It was to teach us that we CAN'T meet God's requirements and that we needed forgiveness and to drive us to Christ for that forgiveness.

Back when there was just ONE ‘command’; it is recorded that two people managed to not obey it.
