Probably several reasons.

Everyone's resume style is different and may or may not contain the info that the employer wants to see on a formal job application. The resume is to impress the one doing the screening for the interviews and the hiring. The job application is to give info to HR who does all of the background checking. They don't want to take the time to read through the resume and figure everything out when it is so much easier for you to put it on the application form in the desired format. Also the "Job Application" has verbiage required under the law for screening job applicants, which is not contained in a resume. Ultimately, if I really want a job, I am more than happy to tout my prowess in duplicate, triplicate or quadruplicate if that is what it takes.
