Yes, this seems a crazy idea for so many reasons. Even if we could create robots that could somehow raise humans to adulthood on another planet, I have to agree the question is: Why would we do it?
I think the obvious purpose would be to increase the likelihood that the human race continues on. However, it wouldn't take more than a few thousand years before these descendants diverged from our evolutionary path to such an extent that we wouldn't consider ourselves the to be the same species. Actually, given the vast distance, by the time these embryos arrived, they would be archaic examples of our former selves. We might as well send insects or bacteria to far off planets. Given enough time, you probably wouldn't know the difference of what we originally inoculated a planet with anyway.
