"For our own protection, mostly." Eino said with his hand raised. "The persecution of witches and wizards grew at an exceedingly high rate in the seventh century in Europe. Many muggles participated in an activity called witch-hunting, which is self-explanatory, and resulted in the burning of many wizards and witches. However, muggles were, and still are, unable to distinguish wizards and witches from muggles, so this witch-hunt resulted in the death of many muggles who were under suspicion. So, the Statute also protects muggles." Even thought it was mostly for the safety of the wizarding world. It's really a win-win outcome for both groups.
