Because then morality would be something real that was actually created and actually exists in the universe, outside of ourselves and our own opinions. Meaning it's not just a human construct. 

In Catholicism, we call objective morality "Natural Law." With God being the Law Maker.
Four questions:
1. Why can't a human being as opposed to a supernatural being make morality objective? It seems reasonable to assume that if a supernatural being makes morality objective, than also a human being.
2. Could natural law exist independent of God? 
3. If natural law requires a foundation (God being the foundation here), then shouldn't God require a foundation as well? 
4. If God doesn't require a foundation, then why can't natural law be independent of any foundation as well?
