Can you name any reasons for why should we support C++ in the kernel?

1. Porting existing modules written in C++ - the trigger for this thread?

2. Shorter, faster, more robust code.

Why shouldn't we invest the effort to making it possible to write kernel
modules in Haskell instead?

C++ is a system programming language with good C compatibility. Making the kernel compatible with C++ is doable.

You could call it Linux++ and discuss it to your heart's content in l++kml ;)
