Because that would require a consitutional amendment. And Lincoln championed the 13th amendment that ended slavery, insisting that it be put on the 1864 Republican platform. When the 1864 election gave Lincoln the votes in the legislature to send the amendment to the states, it happened pretty quickly and was well on its way to ratification when he was shot.
The one place where Lincoln could free the slaves without a consitutional amendment was in the District of Columbia, and that was done on April 16, 1862.
