Here are a few reasons why: Larger wheels provide for a smoother ride.

The larger the wheel the smoother it will rider over those rough surfaces. You can also expect better shock absorption when you do hit a bump in the road. Larger wheels also provide a longer glide distance per push which means less effort as you are cruising down the street.
