Likely because he "went out on his back".
Undertaker is one of the last of the hardcore, old school, "protect the business" era guys, and one of those old school values is to pass that torch.
Even as much as I and I'm sure many others would like to see 'Taker/Sting, the fact is it would be shit on. There's really nothing to be gained by either man to do the match- if Undertaker wins, Sting isn't part of the streak... if Sting wins, 'Taker losing two Wrestlemanias in a row looks a little worse on his legacy, so to speak. It wouldn't be as bad as when Ric Flair "officially" was retired by HBK only to be back in a ring wrestling a few months later (granted elsewhere, but not the point), but it would be treated a little more "ho-hum" than it deserves to be.
Besides, Sting could face just about anyone on the roster at this point and it would be a "dream match" because he's NEVER been in a WWE ring. There's nobody even around he would have been in a match with except Big Show, Regal, and Flair, so pretty much the entire rest of the roster would all be a "never before" attraction.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say as much as I'd like to see Undertaker vs. Sting, I'd rather see, say Sting vs. Cena more. At this point, Cena doesn't need to hold titles. Like it or not, he's an attraction unto himself. They can free him up from the main event picture and insert him into feature matches with something like this.
The current true franchise of the WWE vs The Franchise They Call Sting.
