The Player's Handbook is owned by Wizards of the Coast. D&D Beyond is not owned by Wizards of the Coast. They are owned by Curse. And D&D Beyond is a master distributor for Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons products, similar to how a hobby store is a distributor. If you want to know more about master distributors, watch this video. Basically the distributor you purchased your copy from was not D&D Beyond and so your purchase will not transfer over. They made no money from the purchase of your copy.
If you would like to have access to the D&D Beyond toolset and compendium, you will need to purchase them from D&D Beyond.
You also have the option of utilizing the free homebrew system to recreate what you have purchased outside of D&D Beyond manually.

Depending on how you want to use the tools here, you may not need to purchase entire "books" here. Elements can be purchased individually or, as Sillvva mentioned, you can homebrew character options and the like. If you are still decided if DDB is for you, you might find the buyer's guide linked in my signature helpful. There are lots of options and possibilities, and I wrote the guide to help think about what might work best for them, depending on how they wanted to use the tools here.
The free option is to use the homebrew tools to recreate every race, subclass, item, spell, and feat you want to use. You don't need to publish homebrews in order for you and those in your campaign to use them.
The next cheapest option is to buy wharever you want to use from the books piecemeal for a few bucks a piece. The best part is, whatever money you spend on a piece of a book is deducted from the cost of the whole book, should you want to buy it later.
If I have a hard copy of a book, like The Players Hand Book, can I get that conntent here without having to pay? If so how?
