Because he did believe in it.
He may have moved away from the frigid belief in the system for some sort of political gain but Gandhi believed that some human races were born better then the others.
See his comments on the blacks and indians.

What did Gandhi believe about the caste system?
i know that each and every source will tell u that Gandhi was against the caste system, but in fact he wanted the system. Gandhi was a Vaishya, he wanted to create an image to the Indian people that he was against, by calling them harijans. he had started a starvation proces, in which he said that if Shudars (the lowest caste) were allowed to have rights, he would starve to death. that proves that he was never in favour of getting rid of casteism. if Gandhi said that Shudars were children og god, then he is basically saying that he is not a child of god. Gandhi was a Hindu, and hindus apparently believe in equal treatment, by introducing the caste system they have showed that they infact don't believe in the caste system. so , i ask if u are a shudar and u call yourself Hindu , think to yourself, do u want to be part of a religion that does not treat u well, and thinks of u as untouchable
