Earth has a much more active surface than the moon. Plate tectonics constantly recycles crust by burying it and making new crust, weather erodes crust, etc. Granted, this is a slow process, but it took the moon billions of years to look how it does today, because those processes don't operate there. So there is virtually nothing to erase those craters.
