Because you actually need to organize together to achieve political power, and you can’t do that without choosing something to organize around.
It’s pretty easy to say “well just abandon labels” when no one is using your labels against you to strip your rights away. But when they are, you need to find other queer folk and create power with them, and the words are how to do it.
Also it seems exactly backwards to demand we reject labels, when the problem is the people using them against us.
