There's a bit of a misconception here. Palpatine didn't create Anakin, but he believed that his mentor, Darth Plagueis, did. It was never flat out stated in the movies, but it was heavily hinted to be the truth. It all goes back to Episode I and Anakin's mom stating that there was no father. Fast forward to Episode III, and there's a scene where Palpatine and Anakin are sitting together at a show. It's here that Palpatine tells Anakin the story of Darth Plagueis, the Sith Lord who learned how to create life using the Force. Palpatine believed that Plagueis succeeded and Anakin was the result, hence his interest in young Skywalker.
