We celebrate the sabbats and the esbats because our religion is largely about attuning yourself to the natural world (the body of the God and Goddess), and honoring holy days that mark key points in the agricultural and astronomical calendars is a very powerful way of doing this.

The Wiccan faith is supposed to be based on earlier faiths native to Europe. Those people lived off the land and sectioned off the year into quarters and eighths. These are the Sabbats and Esbats. This sectioning of the year came by knowledge of the movements of the stars, sun, and moon. Often priest also doubled as astronomers.

Not all of them do celebrate them all. It depends on the person. The most common reason to celebrate them is because they follow the changing of the seasons and it's good to recognize the work put into each season by the people and by deity/deities/nature who provides for them.
