That would be terraforming, which we can indeed do, but on inhabited planets the population needs somewhere to live. The process isn't instantaneous.
That's why there is currently an immigration problem on several worlds. The planet Xanthu was rendered nearly uninhabitable due to Robotica devastating it while they were being controlled by a homicidal AI.
[He'll just leave out that that AI was his son, for right now.]
The UP is currently terraforming the planet to render it habitable again but the process may take several years, which means the Xanthan diaspora are without a world until the process is finished.
It's much more beneficial to preserve a planet's ecological systems than it is to terraform it. Fixing something that's broken is always more difficult than preventing it from being broken in the first place.
