Because the cool air from the air conditioner is denser than the warm air in the room and sinks. Placed high up the cool air will have time to get further from the air conditioner before it settles to the floor, allowing it to cool more of the room. Placed on the floor the cool air will mostly pool around the air conditioner and very little of the room will be cooled.

Some air conditioner are actually placed relatively low in a room, but they have fans and baffles that blow the cold air upwards to the ceiling resulting in the same effect as placing the air conditioner high (maybe even better as the fan blows the cool air not only up to the ceiling but across it, possibly covering a larger volume of the room than cool air falling passively from an air conditioner placed high but without fans).
