Why is it important for Congress to expand or contract the Federal Courts? Why not the President?

Short because the Constitution says so.

Complex The United States Constitution established only one federal court—the United States Supreme Court.

Congress established a host of different federal tribunals to adjudicate a variety of legal disputes.
