For the same reason that they wrote the mishna. People were forgetting the oral tradition so it had to be written down, now with more detail than the mishna.

Also some Jews were living in Babylonia and some in Israel, the Jews in Babylonia would be teaching differently than the Jews in Israel. Therefore, they wrote the Gemara so that all Jews would have the same "guidelines"
