There's been a fan campaign for that for over a year now. You can read about it at:
http://www.imaniacs.org

As far as why it was cancelled, I don't know if there's ever been an official explanation from Sci Fi. It happened before Universal/Vivendi bought Sci Fi and USA. The people who worked on the show were taken completely by surprise (as I understand from the Imaniacs). They'd been told they were in for at least the next two years, as IM was the second-most-watched show on Sci Fi, after Farscape. That's why the show ended rather abruptly; the writers didn't find out until after all but the last six eps had already aired that they'd have to wrap up the series.

Of the reasons I've read speculated, the one that made the most sense to me was that Sci Fi decided they'd rather spend the money on acquiring Stargate SG-1 from Showtime. They may not have known that Showtime wanted to sell the rights to produce new eps until after they'd told the IM crew that they would be renewed. But then Sci Fi has the money to spend on bilge like Tremors and Scare Tactics. So who knows.

It was definitely one of the more intelligent action series I've seen on tv. Here's a link to the virtual season three, which is up to 13 (fanfic) eps that attempt to address some of the loose ends left by IM's untimely demise:

Here's another good site about the show to check out. Under Special Dispatches, it has the "Eberts Files", the behind-the-scenes stories about the filming of each ep that Mike MacCafferty, the actor who played Eberts, posted to the Sci Fi IM board every few weeks when the show was in production:

(the name comes from a Greek legend about someone named Perseus who had a magic hat that made him invisible).
