Just off the top of my head, since they're art institutes, they might get a bunch of CVs printed on black paper with sparkly bits on them with long-winded covers about the reasons for art in society or chakras or inner-muse channeling or something like that. While I'm sure *your* cover letter and CV are professional and easy to read, the application form makes sure that the administration gets all of the relevant information that they require without having to search for it.
Bummer that you found this out at the last minute, though. I sympathize.
