Why are Surf, Dive and Waterfall special moves in Emerald?

Before Diamond and Pearl, a move’s type decided whether it was physical or special, and every Water-type move was special. So Surf, Dive and Waterfall use Special Attack in Emerald, even though Dive and Waterfall are physical in later games.
