These are great questions. Why are sacrifices not required anymore? Why are sacrifices and righteousness mutually exclusive? Surely it is a righteous thing to bring sacrifices if Hashem wants it?

You make an assumption that I didn't make – that sacrifices are not required anymore.

Re Hashem wanting s/t – that is a notion I find too vague to define and be useful from a philosophical point of view. In order to discuss meaningfully the righteousness of any activity, we must ascertain what is good and why.
