Because it's "Yes, he..." and not "Yes, I....".
"ydy, ydw" etc. are not a single word meaning "yes"; literally, they are forms of "to be" (bod) that are used when responding to a question. So Welsh doesn't say "Are you cold? Yes." but "Are you cold? I am."
Thus for "I" you need a form "I am" (ydw); for "he" you need a form "he is" (ydy), etc.
