Because his findings are extremely well regarded in the Science world? Its not FIR(eligion)ST; FIRS(cience)T wanted to recognize Darwin's accomplishments too?
Personal beliefs aside, the man is one of the most most well known names in the Science World. I remember learning about him in middle school. I think its better to have division names with recognizable names for the students, the kids will be excited to recognize names. I'll be honest, I'd never heard of Hopper or Carson (and VERY little about Carver) before they were given division names.
