The crusades were fought for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons and many historians see the Crusades as part of a purely defensive war against Islamic conquest.
I totally agree with the question but there is a reason; the first Crusades were called for by Pope Urban II, it was a declared Holy War. The main reason he called for them was to recapture the holy land Jerusalem (Palestine at the time) from Muslim control. Of course there were other factors involved but that's the main reason.

Greed and the want for land was the main reason. Religion was the source of inspiration, and the Crusades would never have happened without religioin's influence. Not enough people would have fought.

Ostensibly the reason for the Crusades was to retake Jereusalem from the followers of Mohammed. However it seems clear that a parallel reason for the Crusades was the same as the reason for all wars.
It's boringness.

One non-religious reason for the Crusades was the desire for land, wealth, and resources in the East. Many nobles and knights saw the opportunity to gain power and influence by taking control of valuable territories in the Holy Land. Economic factors such as trade and commerce also played a role in motivating participation in the Crusades.
