So that the body can be sustained longer while exercising. If you were to run 10 miles and not produce more red blood cells/hemoglobin, then you're body would tire out quicker due to the lack of oxygen getting to your tissues. The increase of red blood cells enables your body to get more O2 to your muscles and other tissues due to increase of hemoglobin.
