One of the goals of engineering is to save money and reduce cost. The bigger something is the more materials are needed and the more money it will cost. So that's why they're skinny. They're pointy because located at the tip is the launch abort system (LAS) which in case something goes wrong during launch, it can safely remove crew from vehicle. Hope this info. answers your question.
