Because creationComplete fires only once, when the component is created, but item renderers are recycled (google or search for that for more detail).
You cannot do any work that depends on the current row (dataProvider item) in a creationComplete handler. You must override the set data() function and do the work there. Actually, you should store any necessary values in set data(), call invalidateProperties(), then do the work in a commitProperties override. Item renderers are a bit tricky. I advise you do not try to start from scratch, but rather find an example (there are many) and modify it to meet your needs.
