Because the title is a Symbol. And those have power, especially over the masses.

Eto used it to draw recruits to Aogiri, by claiming the King was the leader.

They used it to keep V distracted.

And now Eto has released a book about a "King", and set everything in motion for Kaneki to take up the role by killing Arima.

So when Kaneki shows up calling himself the "One-Eyed King", and claiming that he killed Arima.....people will unite behind him.
