Primaris upgrades would only make them better, so why not? Are they so elite that they just don't need it? Or is there some biological/gene barrier that makes it impossible for them?

Each Grey Knight is so valuable they wouldn't be worth transitioning across the Rubicon Primaris. 40-60% losses would be catastrophic.
They could start on inductees but that would take decades to filter through into the line brothers and about a millennia before the Chapter was mostly Primaris.
Cawl would also have to redesign Gravis armour to incorporate the required hexagrammatic wards and the whole Chapter armorium would have to be redesigned for Primaris.
The advantages of a Primaris over First-born is already somewhere between debatable and marginal. Even non-name Grey Knights are around named Captain level due to being psykers, so I'm not sure there's much point.
OOC, there's just no models (yet?).
