why are you developing a completely new kernel instead of using an existing one like linux or hurd and running reactos just as a subsystem, perhaps with some kernel improvements.
because we feel like it. Each of us for different reasons
For example: linux brings very good memory management and filesystem.
(both of which happen to be completely incompatible with those of Windows. You picked bad examples. The whole of Linux is a bad example of how Windows can be implemented)
So what are the advantages of another own kernel against a subsystem in another host operating system ?
it makes us 63.2% cooler
