Why should no human ever want to aspire to that? We, as God's children, have the potential to become like him through faith and self improvement. It's a process that goes on through this life as well as the next. What parent wouldn't want their children to have everything they have?
"For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:39)
That's our entire purpose here in this mortal life on earth.
"A parable illustrates this understanding. A wealthy father knew that if he were to bestow his wealth upon a child who had not yet developed the needed wisdom and stature, the inheritance would probably be wasted. The father said to his child:
“All that I have I desire to give you—not only my wealth, but also my position and standing among men. That which I have I can easily give you, but that which I am you must obtain for yourself. You will qualify for your inheritance by learning what I have learned and by living as I have lived. I will give you the laws and principles by which I have acquired my wisdom and stature. Follow my example, mastering as I have mastered, and you will become as I am, and all that I have will be yours.”
This parable parallels the pattern of heaven. The gospel of Jesus Christ promises the incomparable inheritance of eternal life, the fulness of the Father, and reveals the laws and principles by which it can be obtained." -Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
As a Christian, what's wrong with becoming like God?
It's prideful to want to be on the same level as God. It's Lucifer's great sin and the reason for his fall.
From what I've read about Mormon beliefs it's that you actually ascend to be a god of your own creation...and no human should ever aspire to that.
It's not being "like God" in virtue. It's actually wielding the power of God.
