Because AP Teemo isn't? AP Teemo is still going to want to do some AAing, otherwise you see no benefit from Toxic Shot. And in a teamfight you contribute nothing beyond the occasional Blinding Dart. You're also far more succeptible to someone with Oracles countering your shrooms.

AS/on-hit items do provide some durability, so you can survive using your relatively short range and be involved in team fights.
