Because the Bible does not say that there are more apostles.

The Bible says there were apostles (1 Cor 12, Eph 4). But it doesn't say there were to be more (i.e. continuing unabated after Paul et al) apostles.

You seem to think that it states (or infers) that somewhere. I don't recall seeing that. Nor does christian history (the record of interpretation & application) seem to bear out the "more apostles" view, except with what might be charitably called "fringe" groups.
