I supposed the reason for not sending his son to the mother is because this film wants to emphasize on the father and son's relationship. Chris Gardner in this film does not fight and strive for himself, it's his son that motivate him. I would say that this film is not only about american's dream, it brings out how one would fight for the sake of his love one.
This idea can also be observed in the part where Will Smith shouted that he and his son can never be aparted, when the lady in the home offered to let his son stayed in.
It might seems abit crazy that Will Smith wanted to be with his son almost every moment, but i think this emotion can occur when he is left with him. Moreover, it might be related to his childhood as well, as mention right from the start of the film.
