Walter refused to take the money from Lindner because he wanted to maintain his dignity and pride. Accepting the offer would have meant compromising his family's values and dreams for a better life in a neighborhood they aspired to live in. He recognized that the money came with strings attached, reinforcing racial and socioeconomic barriers, which he ultimately rejected in favor of self-respect and empowerment.
