If there were life on Mars. It will be the our first, and may be the possible only, source of foreign life to study.
I don't think we want to contaminate or destroy our only source of knowledge on other kind of life.
May be we can do that later, once we study them enough or have kept it enough for further study. But let's not make our first decision be "We gonna destroy it someday anyway, let's just stomp on it carelessly right now"
