How about because they are Torah sources, and are therefore not required 
to agree with your favorite 19th-century writer.  On the contrary, you 
should ask how he could contradict Torah sources.

(The answer being that he found some contrary sources which appealed 
more to him, so he adopted their view; that was his right, but nobody 
else is required to do the same.)
