For the same reason the USSR government wanted the US missiles in Turkey removed.
They were seen as a threat and a provocation.
Both the US and USSR got the missiles removed that they wanted removed (but the US wanted to pretend removing the missiles in Turkey had no connection to removing the missiles in Cuba for political reasons, and Khrushchev allowed this).
