Why would you care about another life if it is detached from your other lifes?

So, you're saying that because you want to escape samsara, you care about your future life - even in the abscence of karma.

By taking karma into consideration, this means that you can shape future beings because of the dependency. Does that mean that karma is a necessary condition for caring about your future self?

The conscious work with your karma is necessary. If you you want to enter Nirvana in the future, you need to start dissolving your karma (your behavior, psychological tendencies, etc.) now.
