Penguins are sea birds and live in the oceans south of the equator. They breed on Antarctica's beaches, the closest of which to the South Pole, is about 750 miles. (As well, the pole sits on two-miles thick of ice, and there is no food there for penguins -- or any other animal.) They breed on Antarctica's coasts because there are no land predators there.
As well, there are more predators -- especially land predators -- in the Northern Hemisphere polar region, which means that penguins breeding on land there would not be successful.
