Because you put your name on a Code of Ethics when you joined the CKCSC, USA that said you wouldn't. Whether or not it is in the best interest of the breed is a moot point. I'm one of those people that believes that one's word is their bond. Once anyone signs their name to a piece of paper, they should live up to it, like it or not. If a member doesn't believe in the Code of Ethics that they said they would uphold as part of membership into a Club, then my opinion is that they should resign their membership. Do I believe that the breeding restrictions on the Code of Ethics in regards to AKC dogs is in the best interest of the breed as a whole? Absolutely not. But my name is on the copy I signed and, as such, I will live up to my word. If I find that I can no longer do that, I will resign my membership. To me Myra, signing the Code of Ethics and having no intentions of living up to it is no different that a puppy person signing a spay neuter agreement with a breeder upon purchasing a puppy with every intention of breeding the dog anyway. JMHO, yours may be different.
