I suppose because of a few reasons.
1. Because feminists started the idea toward gender equality.
2. Because just saying egalitarianism or equalism alone is not specific enough.
When you say egalitarianism or equalism, you could be talking about anything.
When you say feminism, you know you're talking about gender equality.
3. If you say gender egalitarianism or equalism, well that's just too long an inconvenient.
