The reason is simple. Balance and control.

The hitter will have less balance and thus less control of his body because his front side has started to fly open prematurely.

At the point of touchdown with the front toe, the hitter still has time to recognize pitch location. If the foot is opened before touchdown, shutting the swing off to take a ball is a tougher task.
