Because the German people would eventually notice that the Jews were gone, and yet they still had all the problems Hitler had blamed on the Jews.

They could still blame the problems on a) imaginary Jews, b) Jews living in other countries, c) other "inferior" humans, d) Germans influenced by Jewish thinking, e) non-Jewish traitors of the new Reich.

(If socialist countries can be used as an analogy, they never had a problem to find some enemy to blame, regardless of how many of those alleged enemies they already killed decades ago.)
