Telling a compelling story. Same reason people write novels, plays, make TV shows, games, etc. A remake is basically a re-telling of  the story with some changes, minor or significant. A live-action version of Lion King seems like a rather interesting concept considering the original story is about animals and this version is going to translate to people, as well as including a myriad of other interesting changes. Profit definitely comes into play, but no one ever invests all their time and work and money into a project if they don't think they're not going to benefit from it financially. A titan like Disney is no different, and there's no shame in that.
