Why? Because these bands are popular.

Apparently not, their new album only sold 2 million copies so far. /sarcasm

It might not even directly relate to the movie, as many of the artists would instead offer a tribute to the Transformers they experienced as kids, and yet would somehow still fit as a companion to the new Movie score, if balanced out right.
Of course, while I'm dreaming, world peace and a G1 Wheeljack MISB would be nice...
As for the theme itself: there's music, and then there's the music industry. Say, Del the Funkee Homosapien laying down some funny but well-spoken rhymes about the Transformers, or Pelican is doing a cohesive but unique post-metal version of the original movie score? Music. A band allegedly changing its sound to match the survey results from the test audiences, correlated to contemporary buying trends in alternative music across the United States, then modified in production to maintain the most middle-ground balance of sound possible to appeal to the lowest common denominator? Well, that's the music industry, and as the movie is very much steeped in the rest of the entertainment industry...guess which one will be the final result.

Most mainsteream americans have never heard of any of these bands, with the exception of like 3, period. Besides TF collectors, and the 6 people that like any of these no name bands, who's going to buy this pile of fecies?

Transformers, more then meets the eye
Autobots wage their battle to be won against the evil forcs of the Decepticons.
The Transformers, robots in disguise
Transformers, more then meets the eye
Transformers

Sounds like a typical end credits rolling kind of fare. At least the traditional riff is still intact.
If it were up to me, as soon as that song finished, they'ed play the outro music from the 1st and 2nd season of the G1 cartoon, followed by the old movie theme. (I mean, hardly anyone would be left in the theatre save the folks paid to clean it at that point, why not just go ahead and end on a geek note)
