Because of Plot, that's why. There is no reasonable explanation for it. The writers just wanted to give Merlin a change to rub Uther's nose in the fact that he allowed a warlock into the heart of Camelot. They wanted The Big Reveal 1.0 and manipulated Uther's character and circumstances to allow for it.
