Because if the US really wants that information, The European Parliment saying they can't have it will totally stop them from getting it, right?
And then American spying skyrockets.
Whether or not the move is effective, I still think it's a good one.

the more the states have to spy the more they'll get caught in the act
this move forces the US to either stop spying or risk further deteriorating international relations

So far the information has been just given to them. Believe it or not, NSA and CIA aren't omnipotent, there are ways to completely avoid their reach (like tor which remains un cracked) and this will cause them atleast serious annoyance.
Of course they might just as well try to bribe anyone with access to european bank data and use him.
The european parliament doesn't have any power to make decisions without support from the appopriate ministers of each member country and the top down approval of prime ministers so this is more of a symbolic gesture as of yet.
