As Pel said the phrase "for the remission of sins" can be pointing to "repentance" (assuming of course those being baptized repented first).
Also, "for" can mean "because of" and not just "in order to obtain". I am satisfied in knowing that we all fall short of perfect theology.
I am sure my own understanding and my interpretation of scripture is something less than perfect. God knows, and He alone will judge. I actually find that comforting. I rest in Jesus.
