The reasons are obvious, warfare is bad, they want to end it. That's not the point of the series, and the previous Gundam shows all cover it already.
Mizushima's trying to show what happens when you DO have a group of people trying to stop war. Note interview answer below:

Q: The pilots of the Gundams belong to a group who are trying to end war. What are you trying to say with this?
A: Let's take this one phrase, "Using force to end wars" and see what happens when someone carries out this contradicting act. "What do you start to see?" is one of things I want to write. Since this is a drama involving these characters, you will see "What happens to the world when they pilot the Gundam? What will these pilots do and how will they change?" This will be the gut of the series for sure.

See the
"What happens to the world when they pilot the Gundam", which is what we're seeing right now, and the
"What will these pilots do and how will they change?", which obviously hasn't happened yet, since the fruits of their labor have yet to fully take effect.
There's a plus and minus to this lack of focus. Yes, we still don't understand much about the Gundam pilots and the CB so far, but we do get a sense of their personality and such. More importantly, we get developed side characters and characters that might affect the situation in the future, and antagonist characters that aren't just nameless, throwaway drones, or pure evil.
Anyway, Gundam series typically start slow. Seed & Seed Destiny were exceptions. Better this than starting strong and then filling the rest of the episodes with meandering crap, as other shows have done.
