Because chalk doesn't desolve in water and so will not wash off (even if done in a place where it's exposed to the elements). Removing it necessitates an abrasive procedure. Also, it's alkaline and disturbs the natural balance in which the resident lichens thrive. Also, it looks bloody ugly and other folks don't want to have their experiences at the stones ruined by someone's doodles, which makes it a very, very selfish act and the perp a very selfish and inconsiderate person - just like leaving assorted offerings and candles (i.e. litter!) at sites.

That's what's wrong with it. I'm sure there's otherreasons that make it wrong too, but any one of the above should be enough in its own right.
