Why Luther Removed the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books?

The Roman Catholic Apocrypha/Deuterocanon are the books in the Holy Scriptures mostly seen in the Old Testament. According to Wikipedia, the Deuterocanonical books is a term used since the sixteenth century in the Catholic Church and Eastern Christianity to describe certain books and passages of the Christian Old Testament that are not part of the Hebrew Bible. Marin Luther, the founder and leader of Protestantism, removed the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books because the Apocryphal books doesn't support Luther's Protestant Teachings. Example the salvation because of good works. The Protestants really deny it, they believe that only the Word of God (The Bible) will only save them. But the Apocrypha says...

"...Better to practise almsgiving than to hoard up gold. Almsgiving saves from death and purges every kind of sin..." - Tobit 12:8-9 (The Jerusalem Bible)

But even the New Testament agrees with this statement that salvation should be with works...

"There you see it: faith and deeds were working together; his faith became perfect by what he did." - James 2:22 (The Jerusalem Bible)

"A body dies when it is separated from the spirit, and in the same way faith is dead if it is separated from good deeds." - James 2:26 (The Jerusalem Bible)

See. The New Testament even agrees with the Apocryphal passage. The Apocrypha supports the Purgatory doctrine which is against Martin Luther's Doctrine...

"after this he took a collection from them individually, amounting to nearly two thousand drachmae, and sent it to Jerusalem to have a sacrifice for sin offered... so that they might be released from their sin." - 2nd Maccabees 12:43, 45 (The Jerusalem Bible)

That's why the Protestants are not including the Apocryphal Books as part of the Holy Scriptures. The Protestants can't accept that their doctrines are wrong. The Protestants are only picking Bible verses that supports their doctrine and anti-Catholic doctrines. That is why Martin Luther removed the Apocryphal books in his Bible (Luther Bible) and some other Protestant Bibles (New International Version, King James Version, English Standard Version etch.) removed it too. It's really scary.
