One reason may be that using an unnamed narrator makes the reader feel almost as if he or she is the narrator and that he or she is seeing and experiencing everything the narrator is. Had Poe given the narrator a name, the reader would feel more detached from the narrator more as if it were someone else experiencing everything.
