Actually, the Judeo-Christian God does not need prophets. He actually spoke for himself on several occasions to humans (Gen 1:28-30,2:16, 3:8-21,4:9-15, 6:13-22, Exodus 3:1-22, see also the incarnate Christ in the Gospels). God doesn't need prophets to convey his message, anymore

than you need your children (if you have any) to clean their own rooms. Its not a question of need, its a question of choice. And as for trusting flawed, sinful humans to speak for him; parents will at times trust their children, who are not as intelligent or as mature as
adults are, to clean their own rooms when they give them the order to do so. If they mess up, the parents come in and point out where they did mess up (such as leaving a toy on the floor), so that the kid can fix the problem. They may also watch the kid to make sure that they
clean their room properly, not allowing any error. Likewise, God's omnipotence and omniscience can override the human tendency to error, so this objection that you raise is not grounded in accuracy.
