Because that's one of the specifications in the definition of a rectangle. If it doesn't have

exactly four sides, then it doesn't satisfy the definition, and we don't call it a rectangle.

Your question is like asking: Why is a long-haired person a woman ?

I had to clean that up a lot, but I hope there's enough of it left to demonstrate my point.
