$\begingroup$ You can't calculate exact value of sin(x)/x for x=$0$. When you say x tends to $0$, you're already taking an approximation.So, we have to calculate the limit here.Taylor series gives very accurate approximation of sin(x), so it can be used to calculate limit. $\endgroup$ – More @Wikipedia
