Darius made the offer after Alexander had soundly defeated him at Issus. Darius had nothing to offer a triumphant Alexander who was bent on taking over the whole Persian Empire.
He had no material motives; his pride and ambition inclined him to accept all challenges and conquer his enemies wholly and definitively.

Why did Alexander refuse a peace settlement from Darius 3rd?

Alexander the Great refused a peace settlement from Darius III primarily because he sought to expand his empire and assert his dominance over Persia. The proposed terms did not align with his ambitions, as they included significant concessions that would not satisfy his desire for conquest. Additionally, Alexander viewed Darius as a formidable rival, and accepting peace would undermine his military achievements and the momentum he had gained in the campaign. Ultimately, Alexander aimed for complete victory rather than a negotiated settlement.
