Because the Big Bang would have been one massive singularity. It kickstarting the universe would also mean time begins at this point. There is no time before the big bang. Time itself in essence has a start.

No. That's a bit of a misconception. The current big bang theory does not comment on the origin of time. It assumes the existence of time at the event. 

 

The big bang is simply the limit of what we can describe; since no information preceding the event could physically be observed from our stand point. 

 

It's the beginning of the *observable universe*. We simply have 0 information (and know to have 0 information) of the universe outside of the observable universe (equivalently, in both time and space), by definition. 

It's not a misconception, It's a very plausable hypothesis even pushed by the late Stephen Hawking himself.
