Because God wills it. He is the God who decided to make a physical creation, to form man with a physical body--before the fall into sin, which brought death and decay into the world--and to then send an incarnate ("in-the-flesh") Savior to redeem both soul and body and restore creation, and who himself rose from the dead and ascended into heaven bodily.

What you have just stated, almost perfectly--and hopefully unintentionally--is the ancient Gnostic heresy, which the Bible rejects and the church condemns. The resurrection of the flesh, the resurrection of the body, is a biblical doctrine that is absolutely firm and certain and trustworthy.
