Two reasons:
Foreground enhancement
Potential of isolation of subject for insertion into another scene

I'll expand just a little.
As Mogul says, dark makes light subjects pop. White makes dark subject pop and can be blown out for High Key shots. Green screen I've never used, but can isolate pretty much any color but green, to insert a different background.
