Because a team that cheated to gain an edge just won 3 out of 5 Super Bowls using cheating tactics.
It could've gravely hurt the league. The evidence was destroyed and sanctions levied to try and save face and be able to "penalize" the team and save face in one swoop.
Destroyed evidence allowed them to paint the story in a way least damaging to the NFL while satisfying the public by levying fines and taking a draft pick.
I can guarantee you the stuff on those tapes were 10 X worse than anyone even wants to imagine.
