Because table-insert is part of table.el (which see.)

Have a look at Org, which is also part of GNU Emacs.  Check the manual
for Org tables here:

  C-h i m Org TAB RET m Tables RET

or on the web:

  http://orgmode.org/manual/Tables.html

You can easily create ascii tables then convert them to LaTeX.
