Because they don't have the right koalafications. Koalas are not bears. They are not placental or eutherian mammals, but MARSUPIALS, which means that their young are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a pouch. It's incorrect to call them Koala bears.

  All you have to do is click the three dots on the right side of my opinion and click (I don't want to see this) and my opinion will get deleted and continue with your joke.

Because I think they’re marsupials and not related to the rest of the Bear family

Bears do not carry their young in pouches made up of folds of their own skin; koalas do.

Funny joke. Koala's are marsupials. They have opposable thumbs.
Pandas are not bears either.

  Marsupials are any members of the mammalian infraclass Marsupialia. All extant marsupials are endemic to Australasia and the Americas. A distinctive characteristic common to most of these species is that the young are carried in a pouch. Well-known marsupials include kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, opossums, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and the extinct thylacine. Some lesser-known marsupials are the dunnarts, potoroos, and the cuscus.
