The play is called Macbeth because the story centers around Macbeth. Although Lady Macbeth is an important character, she is only the second most important character. In addition, Shakespeare had a habit of naming plays after kings, even if the king is not the most important character in the play (as in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 and the three parts of Henry VI). So even if you think Lady Macbeth was as important as Macbeth (and I suggest that's tough to argue), the play is still called Macbeth, because he did not write a play called Queen Margaret even if she's more important than Henry VI her husband.
