Because people like pretty pictures with flimsy plot where nothing happens over a period of ten chapters.

DBZ shined the most during the filler episodes. Like the time Goku and Piccolo went to driving school. And the Saiyaman arc through the tournament up until the Buu shit hit the fan was pretty entertaining.
And then there's Gintama where plot episodes and fillers switch places. The filler episodes are the ones where stories happen.
