The founding fathers intentionally created obstacles to the governmment, with numerous checks and balances. Legislation is the result of negotiation and compromises between competing interests. The president is then given the opportunity to accept or reject the final bill.
The reason the president cannot delete part of the bill is because that would be intruding on the legislative branch's authority. Plus, it would negate the give and take from which the bill emerged. Imagine how few laws could be passed if legislators knew the president unilaterally could delete a provision on which they relied to make it acceptable.
