here i was wondering why the guy in the chat suddenly went "oh, YOU'RE quoth"
Honestly, the actual incidents of the Foundation destroying the SCPs instead of just studying them forever are incredibly small. Considering their resources and implied knowledge, you would think they'd be executing dangerous objects right and left.
Of course, the real answers to why they don't are probably simple. A) much more extra writing, B ) things are naturally more frightening when you know they haven't been stopped/killed/whatever. Keeping them alive makes the articles more interesting from a literary aspect.
They keep them around just in case there is something worse out there. I mean think about it, having all the powers of a functionally immortal lizard at your beck and call would help if you where trying to fight some sort of world-eating horror.
Plus, think of all the things you could learn from things like SCP-035. It contains an archive of knowledge exceeding all known human psychology, among many other darker things. The temptation of knowledge is, as it has always been, too great.

The Foundation represents the danger of trying to catalog and study things that should by all rights be destroyed
