Because TeX doesn't know anything about your new declaration since
latex.ltx is not read with every compilation.

This is an RTFM question. You might issue the following command from
the prompt:

tex -ini -fmt=latex latex.ltx

Move the resulting latex.fmt to the location where TeX looks for
formats, usually it is $TEXMF/web2c. Update your TeX's file data
base.
