When the Linnaean system of classification was first developed in the early 1700s, it only had two kingdoms for living things, the plant and animal kingdoms. Three more kingdoms have been added since then, as well as a higher division of three domains. Why are we still using this system if we have to keep changing the way it is organized?

I think you forgot to give all the options along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. "The general system still works despite all the changes each generation of scientists has added" is the reason why we are still using this system if we have to keep changing the way it is organized.
