Answer: It's just the idea that using the stairs is better for your health, so God forces him to use it.
Answer: Also, Bruce needed to learn a little humility.

God recognizes that Bruce is expecting things he hasn't earned and is attempting to teach him about the importance of hard work and earning things. Bruce has to climb the stairs (harder than taking the stairs) and God asks for his help mopping a very large floor (hard, but satisfying work).
