There are many reasons, but primarily because it takes a lot more talent to be able to hit with a wood bat than a metal. If the professionals used metal bats, the home run rate would skyrocket, not to mention the enhanced danger to the pitchers, who already must have a superb reaction time to avoid being hit by line drives hit back at them. It is also just untraditional. Mjor League ball players have used wood bats since the day the game began. Using metal would take away everything baseball stands for. People love to hear the crack of the bat. Ballparks would have to be renovated and made bigger to balance out the homeruns, making the fans sit further from the action.

Does a baseball go farther when hit by a wood or metal bat?
The governing bodies for various levels of baseball (high school, college, youth leagues, etc.) have set performance standards for metal bats so that, under controlled test conditions, metal bats perform nearly the same as wood bats. Therefore, given all the same conditions, a ball would travel the same distance whether hit by a metal or a wood bat. However, in an actual game, batters swing at varying speeds and other conditions may be different, as well, resulting in different distances for hit balls.
How much farther will a ball go after being hit by a metal bat as opposed to a wood bat?
Studies have shown that the speed the ball travels after being hit by a metal bat is 3 to 8 miles per hour faster than a wood bat. This would translate to a ball hit for a home run travelling 20 to 50 feet further off a metal bat as opposed to a wood bat.
