Because DNA replication contains essentially all the genetic materials that will be needed in transcription and translation processes. And DNA replication is first step to ensure correct protein synthesis and others as well. But translation and transcription are both important to be exact, actually as incorrect transcription or translation could lead to useless proteins or etc.
