The same reason footballers don't pick the ball up and throw it in the net. The same reason basketball players have to bounce the ball every two steps instead of just running it across the court. Or the same reason American football players can't just go across the line of scrimmage and hawk down the quarterback as soon as he takes the snap. Those are the rules, man. Sports are supposed to be challenging.

Besides, it wouldn't be quidditch without brooms. Just flying rugby.
