Actually, some are large enough to be seen without a microscope. The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.
If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane
fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.

Why cells have limits how big or small they can be?
Cells could only hold so much volume. If it is too big or too small the cell will not be able to function or work right.
Why do body cells have to be so small?
Not completely sure, I do know that they divide so they don't get too big.
