Without sin, there is no repentance, without repentance, there is no baptism for the remission of sins. Without sin and these ordinances, there is no need for the atonement.
This begs the question, then: Why are there symbols of the atonement in the terrestrial section of the endowment?
Ok, I'm going to return to this question using the Old Testament tabernacle since we aren't really free to discuss the current temple all that much.
In the Holy Of Holies, there was the mercy seat; also referred to as the seat of Atonement. Now, if the Holy of Holies represents the Celestial Kingdom; then why would you have that great symbol of the atonement present there if there is no need for the atonement beyond the preparatory gospel? I should also add that the symbols of the atonement in the form of the bread and wine are in the Holy Place/Terrestrial room.
