Because, believe me, it will make the experience MUCH more enjoyable. You are almost guarunteed to bash your head multiple times while caving, which will make you d*** glad you have a helmet on. It will save your knees too, especially going through tight squeezes. Light sources are possibly the most important thing to have though. If you turn all the lights off while you are in a cave, you will be able to feel your hand against your nose, but you won't be able to see it.
ADDED: Indeed, though with experience you bash your head far less frequently!
I'd add to the above proper caving clothing, or perhaps more accurately, clothes appropriate to the particular cave, and this often means one-piece suits designed as caving wear.
Knee-pads yes - many cavers also wear somewhat similar elbow-pads; again depending on the nature of the cave you are visiting.
