Three reasons that I can think of:

1) The record companies are afraid that making lossless files available
will somehow increase piracy even though CDs can be easily ripped into
lossless files and made available for illegal download through all the
usual methods.

2) The great and all powerful iTunes store does not offer lossless
downloads so why should a powerless record company take it upon
themselves to offer lossless downloads and possibly anger the iTunes
gods. 

3) They are simply morons.

If I had to vote I'd go with number 3 although number 2 is the more
likely reason.
