You definitely don't need to bleed the brakes.
Take the old pads out and put the new ones in. It's painless.
You wouldn't even need to bleed the brakes if you were doing the fluid, Just use a one-way valve over the nipple.
On motorcycles I tend to pop out the piston and wipe all the crap off it then bleed the brakes. That's because the brakes get sticky and it's a bit of a nuisance, but other than that you wouldn't often need to bleed the brakes on a car unless you fuck something up.
