Because it could well be seen as collusion with the illegal actions of a foreign state in order to win an election, that's why.
If you can't see why that would be a problem I suggest you replace Trump with Corbyn. Let's say there were a number of stories whereby Russia (or a state you like less, let's say Germany) had committed a cyberattack against the Conservative Party and then asked to meet Corbyn's allies because they have damaging information that could help them win the election would you really be saying 'so what'?
The only reason it wouldn't literally be traitorous is because apparently you need to be in a state of war with the other party. It's complicity in the attack against the country by a foreign power.
