So that all the liquid isn't immediately pulled through the filter. To wash the solid, you want the solid to interact with the liquid, to stir it, to make sure that any soluble impurities have a chance to be dissolved and removed. If you leave the aspirator on while washing, the interaction time of the solid and the washing solvent will be reduced. Add liquid, stir, and then turn the aspirator back on to remove the impurity-containing solvent.
