There are a couple of ways to interpret your question. If you're asking "why do we have specific units that everyone agrees to," then it's because I want to know that we will agree on how much stuff I will get when I pay you some money.

If you're asking "why do scientists maintain a specific machine which is the official definition of a quantity," it's because once there is agreement, we need to have a way to compare everyone's measuring devices to be sure they will agree with the definition.

Scientifically, a standard is the agreed-upon device which provides the comparison for all other devices which make a particular measurement. All meter sticks must measure the same meter (to within reasonable precision depending on the stick) as the standard meter. All clocks should measure the same second as the standard second. Without standardspeople wouldn't know how to make instruments which agree with others.

Why do measurements have to be standard?

Standard measurements are rather like the standard meanings of the words that you and I are using to communicate with each other. If a word has a standard meaning, then when I use that word you will know what I mean. If I use a standard measurement, then I can tell other people what I have measured and they will know what the measurement means.
