Because not everyone stopped composing in the old styles and forms or began the new ones at the same time. The Baroque and Classical periods overlapped to a great extent, as did all earlier and later periods. It's impossible to point to a date and say before that date everyone was composing Baroque-style music and after it everyone wrote in Classical styles. Music constantly evolves, and the named "eras" are given dates from hindsight. For example, Beethoven's early music was in the Classical style, based on Mozart and Haydn; his later compositions broke free of the precision and structure of classical forms and became freer and more emotional, leading into the Romantic period.
