Hi,
I am new to this and have a fundamental question: Why do ICOs ask us to send ETH using myetherwallet?
Why can't I send them directly from kraken.com?
Thanks in advance

Since many ICOs run on the ethereum platform or ERC20 and myetherwallet one of the wallets are compatible with it, so you can add custome token in myetherwallet.

They make a contract automatically, so you should sent from your account (send by account, get coin on that account) and avoid confusion or have someone else said  it as their transactions. There may be other reasons but I do not know.

most replies have answered your questions pretty good, to make it simple & clear:
1. using ETH via MEW (myetherwallet) proves you are the owner of that sending address
because using mew requires user to have privkey or something to control that address
2. The dev ICO will need your address to distribute the tokens once ICO finished
3. MEW supports all ERC 20 Tokens including custom, other wallets might not support certain tokens
so those 3 basic needs will be fulfilled at once by requiring "send ETH using MEW"

exchange wallet is not good ,,
your token will be lost if you use an exchange ethereum wallet
just use MEW it is easy to use,,
sorry for asking dumb question, but how can you say the exchange wallet will take all of your money ? as far as i know i never lost my coin if i use the exchange wallet,
the only think i got from exchange wallet is you can't hold the private key, just that.

Because when the exchange sends the ETH you never know what address they are going to send from. You get tokens when the ICOs end to the address which sent the actual ETH, so sending via an exchange just doesn't work.

Therefore, they tell you to use myetherwallet, which supports most ERC20 tokens.

It's like why you don't send from an exchange when doing on-chain betting.
i think because dev can control the token received or not and if there is pending transaction can complain
and if dev use market address like kraken, bittrex or poloniex you can lose your balance

If you use MyEtherWallet then you have the private key & you control your funds and your key. You do not rely on Coinbase or Gemini sending your funds from their account to yours. If you use an exchange Kraken then you have any account with that company, and they hold your ETH and your keys for you. They have their own account on the blockchain with all their and their customers' funds in it. Then you have a username / password with them, on their servers, and they keep track of how much ETH they "owe" you.
This allows you to have the more traditional username / password situation and do things like reset your password if you forget it, change your password if your password is compromised, and turn on 2FA. However, it also means that if the exchange loses ETH, it's your ETH that is lost.

the wallet ethereum address of MyEtherWallet (MEW) is public, so can accept the newly launched altcoin (new contract). while for the exchanger is not public, later altcoin newly launched can not enter.
except if exchanger supported ERC20, like etherdelta.

they are doing that because their coins/tokens are not yet listed on online exchanges  and you cant still withdraw or trade it ,thats why you must hold it first on your eth wallet specifically myetherwallet because it is the most stable and the best eth wallet that suports all new and old erc20 tokens as well as eth.

Myetherwallet is very okay for me, since I can access it via web anywhere.  You control your private keys. MyEtherWallet gives you the ability to generate new wallets so you can store your Ether yourself, not on an exchange. This process happens entirely on your computer, not our servers. Therefore, when you generate a new wallet, you are responsible for safely backing it up.
