This question can be read two ways:

Why do Jews create synagogues? -- They are created as a place of prayer.

Why did Jews "replace" the Second Great Temple when it was destroyed with synagogues? -- The synagogue was used prior to the destruction of the Great Temple, but it came to the fore since Jews needed a place to gather and determine their future. When they were exiled to the far corners of the Roman Empire, the smaller communities made synagogues much more viable than massive temples.
