Because the story makes zero sense.....I mean they transferred darkness over to the egg, leaving the potential for darkness, effectively doing nothing.

So in simpler terms, Snow and Charming wanted to remove the potential for darkness from their baby and what they got was a baby with the greatest potential for darkness. Hmmm...seems like they should get a refund. Otherwise, there'll be no plot because technically Emma would never become dark.
