Because you're paying money to get your kid into a name brand school. You're eliminating an opportunity for a kid with less advantage who definitely deserves it more to get in. If good schools sold slots to the highest bidder nobody from the lower class would ever be able to get in which would perpetuate the cycle of class warfare.
I guess I didn't do a good job of explaining why it's illegal, but I'd say the why of it being illegal is because you're bribing someone with access to the system to pay your way in. At its' core it's wrong.
