1- Because of the massive load on the crankshaft due to piston's up and down movement .

2- Because the huge amount of twisting torque . 

3-Because the timing " Rotates once for each two cycles of camshaft " .

Because the loading on the crankshaft is much higher than on the camshaft.

Crankshaft is bigger than camshaft because it holds the connecting rod since camshaft holds the rocker arm
