I would imagine because...
1.) It's easier to make good looking sprite-based mobile suits in SD instead of normal shapes
2.) It's an excuse to get a whole bunch of Gundams together that don't normally interact (see the popularity of Super Robot Wars for an example of this sort of thing; also note that the SRW series uses SD mecha, as well)
3.) The games, so far as I know, are generally tactical games (the horrid CRPG being an exception), and presumeably they're selling well enough to justify continuing the series. Contrast this with the rather uneven games released in the various other genres. There have been some good Gundam games of other types, and there have been some bad ones - some of them really, really bad...
Why mess with an obviously good thing?

There's a huge difference between the Superior Defender Gundam released for US markets, and the Super Deformed Gundam that is seen in Japan. While I haven't seen either one (though I did play the video game based on the former, and reviewed it on this list), from what I've read the former is a stand-alone series that is made for kids, while the latter is more of a parody of Gundam and is thus designed for people who are already familiar with the various series. I would doubt that Musha SD is based on parodies of MS and Zeta Gundam, but I bet that it still pokes fun at the various things that inspired it and does so in a manner that adults can enjoy.

Musha originated as SD, and has obviously been popular enough to justify continuing it. Since this is so similar, it makes sense to use SD with this new line as well.
And besides, it's a bit hard to take seriously the idea of mobile suits modeled after real historical figures. SD fits with that concept better than "real robots".
:P
