Because the term has become useful in our interpersonal, group, and social relationships.
How does race play a role in culture?Societies use race to establish and justify systems of power, privilege, disenfranchisement, and oppression. American Anthropological Association states that "the 'racial' worldview was invented to assign some groups to perpetual low status, while others were permitted access to privilege, power, and wealth.
How does race and ethnicity affect society?The politics of race
Nevertheless, the legacies of racial and ethnic constructs can be spotted in everything from housing to health. Racial and ethnic prejudices affect the distribution of wealth, power, and opportunity, and create enduring social stratifications.

It is a social construction because it is a set of stories we tell ourselves in order to make sense of the world and eventually we believe in it and act upon it.
