Several reasons
In 1945, there was no international court of law.
Even now, the International Criminal Court can only try people - not 
nations and everyone involved is dead or will be shortly.   The ICC can 
charge individuals (even heads of state) but only if the nation of that 
person will allow it and the USA is not a signatory to the ICC.  The ICC 
does not have authority over American citizens unless the US government 
allows it.
The use of bombs on cities was not, at the time, a war crime.  No one in 
the German Luftwaffe was charged or convicted of a war crime for bombing 
British cities  and they were the losers.  Whether it is now is a 
separate question.
An atomic bomb is just a bigger bomb.  While a huge number of people 
died from the use of each of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, more 
died from conventional bombing in other cities.
There is no enforceable law against using any weapon in a declared war. 
Even the use of poison gas is restricted by treaty and there is no real 
mechanism to convict a nation of breaking a treaty.
There is no way to charge a nation with a crime because there is no 
legal authority higher than a nation.
