It is so because, the oldest fossils are obtained from the life forms which used to exist at that time in the oldest ages.

At that time there was no so much changes in the world, the life forms being simpler. As the age of the earth advanced hence the forms of life also adapted or tried to adapt to the changes of the surrounding.

The climate changed and so did the life forms. It was determined that in the older times, 1st life forms came in the water bodies and then from there the land forms developed. So as we see the later life forms are more complicated, thus the oldest fossils are more simpler compared to their most recent counterparts.
