We just test the cows so we'll spot it quickly and hopefully it won't spread.
The threat is a pathogen that either we don't even know is spreading, or we don't know how it is spreading. A mutated H5N1 for example.
But if we test, then maybe we'd have to not produce milk from positive cows for a short amount of time. Then someone might find it a little bit difficult to get milk for their morning cereal, and that would be a minor inconvenience.
