Because it makes for a good story? I certainly don't buy in to the idea
that you have to continually pair off people (or characters) just for the
sake of it, but many of the romantic pairings we've seen on B5 have had
interesting plot implications, and besides, people enjoy romance. :)

What was it, "Rock Cried Out"? Where the preacher talked to Sheridan
about how much it helps to have someone to share your burdens with?
Sheridan draws a lot of strength from his relationship with Delenn, and it
doesn't make him any weaker as a character; I doubt that Susan Ivanova
would be significantly weakened by falling in love.
