Because when you take notes, you internalize a lot more than simply reading. It really makes a difference. Worse is when the professor snaps the slides faster than you can write them - meaning much faster than you can comprehend them. Sure I can watch someone flash basic history slides by but when it comes to math, science, obscure stuff there is no way I can catch it off a slide better than if the professor is writing.
