If everything was perfect you could use accelerometers to calculate velocity. However you would need a perfectly accurate accelerometer and no lag. There is no system capable of this, and so because of that using an accelerometer to find out your velocity would be incredibly inaccurate. Encoders provide a much more accurate reading of the velocity of your robot.
