Because a kernel is an essential part of a complete operating system.
So that they can get credit? I don't think the GNU Project had anything to do with achieving reputation, but rather to spread an ideal of free software.
Hurd development has been pretty sporadic in general. Just look at GNU's project catalogue: it's vast. That said, if Stallman hadn't egotistically intervened into Bushnell's original plan to adopt the 4.4BSD kernel, the Hurd could have stood a chance.
But no development is a waste.
