It's my understanding that as an object approaches the speed of light,
time slows down and if it could reach the speed of light, time would
effectively stop. This would seem to indicate that we should perceive
time to stop for light. If this is the case, why doesn't light travel
at an infinite speed (i.e. it wouldn't appear to us to not take any
time to get from point A to point B)?

We observe that objects moving relative to us age more slowly than
objects that are stationary with respect to us. An object observed to
be moving at c doesn't age at all. The speed affects the observed
aging, not vice-versa. The fact that aging stops for objects moving
at c insead of at an infinite speed, is just the way the universe
behaves; there is no answer as to why.
