Because creationism requires the existence of a creator, which atheists reject.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon 
Note that not all who accept evolution reject the concept of a creator. Atheists of course do reject a creator, independent of whether they accept evolution or not.

Why is it that creationists are so adamant that god couldn't have created them through evolution?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

WTF would a "creator" have to do with evolution?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Actually,that is the position of mainstream Christendom. It is only the loopy young earth creationists who believe otherwise. There is no 'atheist position' on creationism or any other topic apart from the existence of god(s). I do not reject the notion of creationism out of hand:I make no claims. I simply decline to believe in creationism due to the lack of credible evidence.I might be wrong. I will be happily believe the second I see any credible evidence. Since nobody has once managed this task in recorded history, I'm not holding my breath.

Because the bible-thumpers point to their buy-bull which says: Gen. 1 Quote:24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. To the feeble-minded if their "god" saw it was good why would he allow it to "evolve?"  RE: Evolution

The official position of the Catholic church is that evolution is true. That begs the question: what did Jesus die for if Adam & Eve never fell? We're getting saved from what? "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
