One time I wrote about it from my probably own point of view, that is because prostitution is the easiest way to earn money.In the same reason theft is illegal.

No, theft is illegal because it is not a mutually agreed upon transaction.

There are many mutually agreed transactions that are considered illegal. For example, drug-dealing, weapon-dealing, gambling, prostitution. These deeds themselves are not illegal. They are illegal if done too many times, systematically and clandestinely or out of the hands of public authority. They become illegal only when they are against public welfare. Theft is more serious crime in that it is done without mutual agreement.

Wait, was this a contest to compile an exhaustive list of crimes that ought not be illegal? You have a pretty good start there.
