Because it's a theory, and can't be reproduced in a lab or other
controlled setting. There is absolutely no evidence of one
species (or kind) changing from one to another. 

Birds are birds; dogs are dogs; cats are cats. There are many
different cat TYPES or breeds, but they are all cats or felines. 
We have never observed a cat turning into a dog - or any kind 
changing into another entirely.

Because He tells us, through the writing of Moses, that "in the beginning
He created male and female" and these human beings were made AFTER the
ocean animals, land animals, plants, etc. 

Jesus confirms this and says the Old Testament is fact. He said He 
was God, that He would be killed and rise again - and then He did 
exactly that, proving He was who/what He said He was.

So, in a way, we can look BACK at the OT with the support of the
only One that laid down His own life and then picked it back up
again.

Not at first it's not. It's problematic TODAY because of all the problems
that we have in our genome. When things were new and 'God called it good,'
their genetic material hadn't yet accumulated the damage and mutations
we see today due to sin and time.

Adam and Eve had many, many sons and daughters. To our modern ears, this
sounds gross that they interbred, but to them? No problem at all!

The same way it happens with dogs... It only takes a few generations for
an impressive amount of genetic variety to show up.

I recommend Answers in Genesis - https://answersingenesis.org   They 
have scientists on staff that have studied this very thing, and they
have a Biblical Creationist worldview.

And I've heard that theory that it's a 'story' - a way to describe
to people living at the time of Moses the fact that we all come
from God. The problem with this is you lose Genesis 3:15 and the
seed war. You lose the curse of sin. You lose 'the first Adam' and
thus lose Jesus being 'the second Adam.'

Without a literal Adam and Eve, you don't just lose the Genesis 
account. You undercut the very foundation for the gospel itself.
