A Watsonian explanation would be that since Wizarding Britain never achieved complete isolation, refusing to at least partially adapt their accents to modern standards would have drawn unwanted attention to their conclaves. As a result, there is either a wide-spread spell on the Wizarding community to keep their accents within 50 years of Muggle standard, or a concerted effort from Wizarding educators to conform to modern English.

The Doylist explanation is that JKR didn't think about it that hard.

As a personal aside, I'm glad they didn't have their own accent, because an entire series written in JKR's phonetic accent writing would have been nine kinds of brutal.
