why move the king?

why does white move the king instead of taking the knight (pxf5)?

It's Mate After Taking the Knight

After
1. Kd2 Rxb2+
2. Ke3 Nf5+
3. exf5
there follows
3. ... Qe2+
4. Kf4 Qe5# (or 4. Kd4 Rc4#)

Not quite...

Qe5 is not mate, the continuation is:
4. Kf4 Qe5+
5. Kg5 Rxg2+
6. Kxh5 Qxf5+
7. Qg5+ Qxg5+
8. hxg5 Kg7
9. Nf6 Rh8+
10. Nh7 Rxh7#
