Because why re-release the old ones, with the old bugs and different Pokemon stat and battle system when you can rerelease them in the newer engines, compatible with the newer games?
Not only will they ensure full compatibility, but they'll sell to the people who played the original games (Blue, red, Gold, Silver etc) and the newer generation who weren't around until Gen3 onwards?
Seems to me that it's just good business not to. You're narrowing your userbase.
They already did that. It's called FireRed and LeafGreen.
