God did not "need" to "call" God the Son, the Son of God. God the Father sent God the Son, John 17:3.
Jesus is praying to God the Father, one of the three Persons of the "only True God," and saying that Jesus as Christ was sent by God the Father so that the redeemed would have eternal life, which includes a relationship with God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
