why do meristematic cells lack vacuoles?

The meristematic cells divide frequently and they give rise to new cells. For this they require a dense cytoplasm and thin cell wall. Vacuoles if present will cause hinderance in cell division as it is full of cell sap to provide turgidity as well as rigidity to the cell.

The main function of meristematic cells (meristematic tissue) is cell division (Mitosis). For a cell to divide, the nucleus needs to be in the centre.
In plant cells, large central vacuole is present which provide rigidity and turgidity to the cell (which is a hindrance in cell division). Also, the main function of vacuole is storage (of nutrition, waste products, etc.) which is not much required in meristematic tissue.
