Because the venom courses through your blood stream to fast to make much of a difference.
NEVER cut an "X" at the bite site. This is ineffective and increases trauma in the area of the wound.
NEVER suck out venom with the mouth. The person sucking poison from the wound with his/her mouth will absorb the poison through his/her gums the same way a person absorbs nicotine from chewing tobacco. Further, the human mouth carries at least 42 species of pathogen† and this action could give the snakebite victim a major infection.

Because there is no way to make sure to get all the venom out. Some of it would already be in the bloodstream, and the rest isn't all in a nice neat little package that you can get out and know you got it all.

Plus, you'd just be drinking the venom.

you might be able to get some out of the wound, but a lot has already spread courtesy of your circulatory system.
