 Two reasons:
 1) So that Draco wouldn't.
 2) So that Snape would become the master of the Elder Wand.
 
Kemper:
 My impression is that Snape would not become the master because there was an agreement between he and Dumbledore. The agreement essentially being 'I give permission for Snape to euthanize me.' That way Dumbledore would die the master of the Elder Wand and thus the wand could no longer have a master and act like just any ordinary wand like it did with Voldemort.
