Because it makes them grosser.
No seriously, centipedes have so many legs because they are hunters. In order to catch their prey, Spiders and other insects, they need to be quick. All those legs helps them do so unfortunately. I personally think the less legs, the better!

How many legs do centipete have?
centipedes can have a varying number of legs from under 20 to over 300. Centipedes have an odd number of pairs of legs, e.g. 15 or 17 pairs of legs (30 or 34 legs) but never 16 pairs (32 legs). A key trait uniting this group is a pair of venom claws or "forcipules" formed from a modified first appendage. Centipedes are a predominantly carnivorous taxon.
