I think it's because Dumbledore couldn't be sure that killing
Voldemort wouldn't also kill or at least seriously harm Harry.  There
are too many connections now between Voldemort and Harry: the scar,
the shared blood protection from the cemetary ceremony in GOF. 
Dumbledore can't risk danger to Harry. 

But he has to tell Voldemort something so he goes all metaphysical on
him and tells him that "there are worse things..."
