Because Pisistratus taught him a lot about hospitality and how to great and treat the guests. It is important for him because his parents never taught anything good.
When Telemachus first meets Odysseus (disguised as a beggar), Telemachus does not recognize him and instead thinks he is just a poor traveler. Odysseus reveals his true identity later in the story.
The treatment of the unknown beggar by Telemachus and Eumaeus reflects the Greek value of xenia, which is the ancient concept of hospitality towards strangers. By showing kindness and welcoming the beggar into their home, Telemachus and Eumaeus demonstrate respect for this traditional value.
Telemachus first thinks that Odysseus is a beggar, thanks to Athena's disguise of him. After Odysseus' transformation, Telemachus believes him to be a god, until Odysseus tells Telemachus of his identity.
Eumaeus treats Telemachus with respect and loyalty, as he has known him since he was a child. He is protective of Telemachus and assists him in his journey to find his father, Odysseus. Eumaeus also offers guidance and support to Telemachus as a mentor figure.
Odysseus tells Telemachus to hid the weapons so that the suitors can't use them. Telemachus has to say that the weapons are getting "smoke damaged" and he is afraid that the suitors will start hurting themselves with them if they have too much to drink.
The relationship Telemachus and Pisistratus have is a very close friendship. This shows a lot in the Odyssey. One time is when Telemachus kicks Pisistratus to wake him up. This is a sign that they're like brothers. If Telemachus and Pisistratus weren't friends, and Pisistratus was simply a guest for Telemachus, Telemachus wouldn't have kicked Pisistratus. Another time it is shown is when Telemachus is talking to Pisistratus and Pisistratus is telling Telemachus that he has to get home or Nestor, his father will kill him (to put it in modern terms). This gives the reader an idea of how the two young men have a good connection and can just talk to each other like that.
