Because 2 teams used to develop 2 Mario Karts for 2 different platforms is quicker. Now you are building 1 Mario Kart for 2 different platforms. It will take longer. It is very simple logic. 

Basically Mario Kart 9 will take longer to make than Mario Kart 8, which in turn was longer to make than Mario Kart 7. You can say Mario Kart 9 will take less time to develop than 7+8, but you're also only getting one Mario Kart.

Thats a whole point because we dont need two MK games on two platforms, we need just one MK on one platform, difference in time and resource that is needed to develop two different MK games for different platforms will be used for another project or game, so we will have more games for one platform than for each platform separate. It so simple but you from some reason don't see it.

But if they give us different tracks and experiences, why don't we? The graphics for the home console Mario Kart 9 is obviously going to be superior so why would we even need the handheld? It's a bit more complicated than "we don't need it". 

Let's look at another series for example. A unified platform could also only result in one LoZ. Would you rather not have had A Link Between Worlds? 

It's time to look at this from a big picture point of view and realize this unified software thing doesn't benefit those of us who buy both systems.
