The main reason is that forwarding an incoming email does not create a copy of the message in the first place. It simply stores the incoming email as an outgoing email. There aren't 2 copies of the email and the one that is stored is an outbound email or netmail message, not visible to the user. So not deleting it wouldn't help.

You'd have to create 2 copies of the incoming email (one for the local mail base, visible to the user and one for delivery/forwarding to the external mail address), and that seems convoluted and silly to me. Not impossible however.
