red blood cells have only one job, that is to carry oxygen from alveoli to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to alveoli, there are approximately upto six million rbcs in the human body, if red blood cells get mitochondria,they will make energy by using up all the glucose, this would be quite taxing to the body, hence we don't have it in rbcs.
