the best thing here is just to consider this an idiom and memorize it. you do X in order to do Y; you do not do X for doing Y..

"was" is not a parallel marker. parallel markers are words that, by their very nature, indicate that two or more similar words or phrases are tied together..

"so" and "that" almost always require words in between them on the GMAT..
