Partly to create the correct geometry, so that the inside wheel turns more than the outside wheel in a corner (as its path has a smaller radius - think about the tyre tracks on a dry road after a car has driven through a puddle), and partly because they connect the wheels to the steering rack, which has to be mounted clear of the engine and gearbox, meaning it normally needs to be mounted quite a bit behind the wheels.

A lot of cars put the steering rack behind the engine at the base of the fire wall.

Because the elbow is smaller than the fore part of the arm.
