They couldn't handle the weather conditions there.
Edit: Just to add on, weather conditions were bad for most of May 1940 in Dunkirk (General Franz Halder kept a very detailed journal) during the evacuation of the BEF at Dunkirk. He lamented how upset he was that thousands of men were escaping across the English Channel right under their noses, and they couldn't do that much to stop them.
Dunkirk was later a major base for Germany during the Battle of Britain. Until 1944 when the allies recovered France from the Germans, Dunkirk was a relatively good place to be if you were a Wehrmacht troop. It was well funded, had a constant influx of troops, and people weren't stationed there for too long.

Dunkirk was crucial to World War II because it marked a significant turning point in the war early on.

The successful evacuation also underscored the importance of Allied cooperation and ingenuity in the face of overwhelming odds.
Why were the British in Dunkirk?
Dunkirk helped get about half a million allied soldiers to safety and off Dunkirk beach. These soldiers were prisoners, and these could then help in the war on land.Let's explain what Dunkirk was first. Dunkirk is a port town in France on the English Channel. After France and Great Britain went to war with Germany they were great defeated by Germanies Bltizkreig or Lightning war. They were pushed back to Dunkirk and forced to retreat back to England. Thousands of British and some French troops crossed the Channel on Civilian and Military warships. This retreat/battle was important beacause it meant Germany had complete control over Europe until they invaded Russia in 1941. After Dunkirk Germany started Operation Sealion (The invasion of England). So it was not so important for the United Kingdom but Germany since the United Kingdom really just lost thousands of men and was forced from direct land combat. Hope this helped.
