To protect his client. If Trump knew about the NDA, his campaign staff and campaign lawyers would have known that an NDA payment could likely violate FEC laws. In order to facilitate the NDA and protect Trump from any FEC issue, he had to pay Stormy without Trump's knowledge and money.
But how was Cohen privy to the affair and the need for an NDA if he didn’t discuss it with Trump?

He doesn't have to know about the affair beforehand. It was widely known that Cohen was Trump's personal lawyer. Someone who'd had a personal relationship with Trump would also know that. It's likely she approached him with the information and her demands. At that point, he had two options: i) tell Trump and force him to either approve a payment knowing it violated FEC laws or tell her no and have the story go public; or ii) not tell Trump, pay her off and protect Trump from the scrutiny of the affair going public and any FEC violation.
