Because the American TV industry is geared that way, and the BBC will do whatever is required to give their shows the maximum exposure over there?
Given how the complete series (already broadcast in the UK) would be available on the net before the show's even returned from the notorious mid season break, it would potentially jeopardize the viewing figures, level of success and as such any revenue streams.
Although I've never watched BBC America (Maybe they run UK shows from start to finish?) i would guess the BBC would love to sell their programs to as many networks as they can, so will bend over backwards to make them as US friendly as possible.
Which of course means, at some point, we'll probably have to suffer another American doctor
Regarding the upcoming series..
