Because the show is seeing this character as part of a NEW story book, and new stories. The first six seasons were Emma as the protagonist, by all indications from A&E this is a new set of stories, and clearly Henry is now the protagonist.
Of course he's the same name, but I find nothing problematic to create a thread for the new actor inheriting the role.

I was just wondering what the rationale was, since, as noted, it seems like it'd be easier to just use the existing thread(s).
Either way, though, I think it's rather ingenious of them to have inverted the show's core premise as a way to expand the mythology and create brand-new avenues for storytelling, and look forward to seeing what Andrew brings to the role that is both similar and different from Jared's portrayal.
