because he wanted to
Kipling's purpose, besides pure entertainment, is to fortify the Industrial Age belief that plain, purposeful, action is morally upright. The heroes of the story (the Mongoose and the father) are open and direct about their motives, while the antagonists, the cobras, are not. The snakes are devious while the protagonists are righteous.
Kipling starts the story with the rescue of Riki Tiki to establish the mongoose as a heroic and courageous character, setting the tone for the rest of the story. It also introduces the theme of loyalty and protection, as Riki Tiki risks his life to save a family that ultimately adopts him.
