The most likely reason the author included this excerpt from Jekyll’s point of view is to show the reader Jekyll's thoughts.
You can see that this person is torn about what he should do - whether he is supposed to give in to Jekyll, and behave the way he wants to at the expense of others, or succumb to Hyde, and discard his own wishes and desires and let Hyde live his own life. According to the narrator (Jekyll), both of these options are bad, which is why he cannot decide on what he is supposed to do.
