Maybe they didn't think that kids would ever learn about the artists any other way

There is no know reason for this but perhaps the original creators did not intend for the mutants to have individual identities. For instance, in the original comics, all four turtles had red bandannas. But for the TV show, they were each given a different color to make it easier to tell them apart.

Yoshi adopts the 4 turtles as his sons and trains them contained in the artwork of ninjitsu. He names them after his well known Italian renaissance artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (Donatello), Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael), and Michelangelo Buonarroti. In maximum variations, the Turtles have a tendency to flow with assistance from nicknames Leo, Don, Raph and Mike, yet in this version they are consistently addressed with assistance from their complete call: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo. each and each and every Ninja Turtle wears a mask over his eyes with a particular coloration, and is educated contained in the artwork of a distinct weapon.

The co-creaters thought it be creative to give them those names after reading about De Vince.
