why is there a minimum weight requirement in Formula 1? Wouldn’t teams be incentivized to lessen the weight of their cars for faster speeds?

Even beyond that, they’re incentivized to minimize the weight of their *drivers*, which leads to dangerous practices like water cutting and crash dieting. F1 races are hard enough on the drivers as-is and we don’t need them pushing it further. Enforcing a minimum weight for each allows for teams to have safety margins without sacrificing performance compared to other teams.
