The same reason any robots start killing humans for no reason other than they are evil; they are stupid.

There is no way the Reapers were thinking clearly when they decided to purge the galaxy like this. Quite simply, all cases of synthetic life going on genocidal rampages are not because it is somehow inevitable, but because they are just nuts.

I have yet to see a single logical justification to explain why "machines need to die because otherwise they will kill us all". And there is definitely no justification for machines to decide "Oh, I think I should just start a war killing all organic life and waste resources doing so, with no gain."

Retards are retards. The Reapers are retarded, and whoever programmed them even more so. There is no cure for artificial stupidity.
