Because nobody inherits the sin of their parents. Jesus was sinless because he did not sin.

Have you not read,

God created each of us good, alive, perfect - our sins condemn us.

Yes, Jesus was sinless because He was born sinless (He did not have a human father by which to inherit Adam's sinful nature) and He did not sin. But, the rest of us are quite different - we are not born sinless and we sin:

Rom 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Romans 5:15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

Romans 5:19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

It's dangerous to build a theology around one or two verses.
