Because scaling MR is by definition not intended to give you an early advantage for laning, but on the contrary add to your tankyness for mid and late game teamfight, allowing you to fulfill your initiator role as Leona. All melee champs in this game except for old tans DO have MR/lvl in their base stats for this precise reason. If you don't understand this then I feel sorry for you.
