Efficiency.

You could very well have one contained area to run every running and field event in Track and Field but than it would take a considerable amount of time and organization to host every event in such a limited compartment. Having separate (devoted) areas for only a small number of events relinquishes the main track for only the track events and it's participants to compete in.

Other added benefits could include compartmental wear and tear to a specific areas, much more warm-up and preliminary time and trials to suit the participants, additional lanes on a track can bolster competitiveness as well.
