The same reason that they wear robes and sit high up behind a huge "bench" here in the USA --
It's a combination of tradition, along with a show of power. The robe (and wigs, where worn) are a sign of power, meant to show everyone who is in charge.
Cops wear uniforms and hats, the President has "Hail to the Chief" played, the Queen has her crown, and judges have robes and wigs.

It's a way to express their oppressed trans-gender tendencies.
