There are a number of reasons for this. the first and main is so that the rest of the orchestra can hear them properly. the second is because they could block the rest of the orchestra from the audience if they were in the front, as they take up a lot of room. this could stop all of the sound getting through, and make the rest of the orchestra harder to see.

Which were the first instroments to be introduced into the brass section?
The use of brass instruments in the orchestra began around the 17th century, (although concertos for those instruments appeared earlier than that). Both the natural horns and natural trumpets were occasionally used, but not with any regularity until the mid 18th century. Trumpets were sometimes used, but were very limited at that time; composers who did write for them started doing so around 1700. French Horns had been used for a while but didn't really become standard in the orchestra until around 1750. That's really when brass instruments started to be used as a section. Mozart introduced the trombone in his Requiem and Beethoven used it extensively in his later symphonies, but it didn't become a regular instrument until the early-mid 19th century.
