Because these are the fundamental quantities of basic physical quantities .These are treated as independent quantities are not usually defined in terms of other physical quantities .

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
