If the nuclear envelope fails to disintegrate, the new complement of DNA for the daughter cell will be trapped. Without DNA, the daughter cell couldn't function properly and die very quickly.

Usually, this breaks around prophase, which makes the sister chromatids available to pull apart in anaphase. Subsequently, a new envelope forms for each daughter cell in telophase, and the membrane is divided in cytokinesis.
