It's just going to get wet again when you prime it and put the cartridge back on... 
Why Dry Atomizer After Washing?

I don't dry them. I blow it out really good, flood it, blow it out again and vape.
My theory is that water by itself just sizzles and shorts things out.
juice vaporizes because of the pg/vg mix.

I don't wash mine with water anyway. Just a PGA soak, blow 'em out, prime and vape.
I soak my atty's in water then blow them out. I then put it in a PT if I can and dry it using that. I take a few steam puffs prime the atty with preferably VG juice and I use a subtle flavor, then I'm back to vaping.
The water dissipates rather quickly only a few puffs of watered down juice. Every atty I own is still in good working condition.
Okay. I can understand blowing it out, priming, and then using.
However, I read so many posts where people say they dry theirs in the oven, use a hair dryer, let air dry for 24 - 36 hours, etc. To me that's just a waste of time since you're going to get it wet again anyway when you prime it and put the cartridge back on.
Even if there is a small amount of water left in the atomizer I don't see where that will dilute the e-liquid for more that a puff or two. Heck, I usually give my PV a couple of puffs without inhaling to start with just to get the atomizer warmed up. This gives me the best TH. (All my batteries are automatic.)
Anyway, I've been using my 901 since about April 19 (a little over 7 weeks now) and I have washed the atomizer maybe 2 or 3 times and only blow it out then start using it again. I'm still using the original atomizer and it still produces vapor like crazy.
I'm just going to continue doing what I have been doing since it seems to work for me.

Like most anything else that heats a liquid it will accumulate gunk around the heating element and should be cleaned out so it will operate more efficiently. Also there's a very good possibility of bacteria build up that should be cleaned out.
Not washing it every so often would be like reusing your coffee cup over and over without washing it. UGHHHHHH!!!!!
Atomizers will get a gunky buildup of crud on the coils after a certain amount of use depending on the type of e-liquid you are using. Too much crud build up and the coils will snap and ooops! Dead atomizer. Some folks want to make them last as long as possible so they try to clean that gunk off using various methods fully explored here in the forum. Some work better than others. The most important thing to remember is not to use anything to clean them with that you would be afraid to inhale some residue of because there might be a chance you wouldn't rinse it all out completely enough.
Define "every so often". Perhaps you use cream/sugar in your coffee?
In my world, a seasoned coffee receptacle is sacred.
A crunchy atty, however, is less than desirable.
Agreed.
But my question is why dry them after cleaning? Why not just blow them out to get the bulk of the water out and then prime and use them.
On another note, when I wash my filler I don't dry that either. A damp filler will fill easier and more quickly than a dry one will.
Spider, thanks for that question. I always wondered about that, and your logic/method makes perfect sense to me! Henceforth, I'm gonna do what you're doing after washing my atty.
Re: Unwashed coffee cups, I know several people who agree with SuZamme and swear that a well-aged, i.e., crusty and never washed, coffee mug enhances the coffee.

People wash their coffee mugs?
Plus, it keeps other people from walking off with it.
