I think it's to do with the respective nature of their powers, Ladybug embodies creation, Cat Noir personifies destruction.

My reasoning is that destruction is not "pure enough" to purge the evil from the Akumas, only creation can, therefore it falls to Ladybug.

I am also assuming that the evil energies Hawk Moth puts into the Akumas is not their natural state/purpose, judging from Nooroo's horrified reaction when he learns the use his Miraculous is about to be put to.
