Because the times when you would normally use Cure 2 don't always coincide with when you want to stack Lilies.

Under most circumstances, Cure and various regens and oGCD abilities are actually sufficient, maybe with occasional Cure 2; however, you may not see very many Lilies this way, and/or you may not have them when you want them.

Since MP regen supports it, you are rewarded more consistently for using Cure 2 even when it's not strictly necessary. Deliberately letting the tank's HP to drop dramatically so that you can be restoring more actual HP with Cure 2 is basically the same idea except that you still might not get Lilies exactly when you want them. E.g. If you've spent your Lilies and have a tankbuster coming up soon for which you want to apply Benison, you're going to find something to hit with Cure 2 regardless of whether or not they actually need it.
