Thank you for explaining this Rabbi but why does the Cohen Gadol have to be married and why does he have to have kids ?

Shalom
Essentially this concept only applies during the temple times.
If we understand it as a spiritual idea the cohengadol represents the aspect of pure giving and selflessness and the idea of him being married with offspring represents the god-like feature within us being active and productive in us fulfilling our divine potential.
Hope this helps
