For the same reason 23rd/24rd century humans in Star Trek largely share the (often antiquated, even by today's standards) opinions, mores, mannerism, (slightly modified) fashions and language of humans from the 1960s/1980s

Remember Buck Rogers? People 500 years in the future didn't know the meaning of any swear words... Yeah, like that's plausible.

A lot of swearwords are slang, and slang changes pretty quickly. In 500 years time people likely have developed a whole new vocabulary of swear words.
The thing is that they didn't have any slang or swear words of their own for that matter. That's what made it funny.
Welcome to Star Trek, where Vulcans speak Vulcan, Romulans speak Romulan and Humans don't speak Human
Even the Starfleet Captains slaughter people with hand phasers. And one another.
Don't recall that. Did the movie establish that whoever said this one line knows either Vulcan or Romulan?
A live-action Star Trek series in 1973-1974 would've been awesome because of how dated it would've been. The '70s kind of dated. It's the best kind of dated. 
Bring on the bell-bottoms, chest hair, medallions, afros, and leisure suit dress uniforms. When the ship goes to red alert, a disco ball flashes red around.

They both evolved from the same monoculture. Apparently there was a single planet wide language when the Romulans left.

Hahaaaaa oh jeez. Russel Christensen's Spirit Folk Crap! Crap! ... thread. Classic.
I think that thread put me off ever watching the episode proper.
I can't see that image without thinking of SF Debris Joke:You rang?
They've clearly gone out of their way with all the stuff to not have that sixties era feel to it. Instead, be a timeless piece that— (McCoy shows up on the transporter)What the hell? (disco music plays) I'm not sure, this might be Grizzly Adams, and he seems to have the headpiece to the staff of Ra around his neck."
And traveling at light speed would cause time dilatation effects.

You know it's funny because in the 1950's most sci. fi. writers didn't understand squat about Einstien's Relativity so they thought that light speed was something like the sound barrier, you just had to move past it (by a few engine modifications maybe ) and then you could go as fast as you wanted without any time effects...
The technobabble required to explain why time dilation doesn’t happen would be both glorious and terrible.
Definitely.
