I think Camus uses first point of view because he wants us to really get a sense of Meursaults character and what he thinks. Obviously Meursault is a very different type of character and Camus wants us to feel like what it is being in Meursault's head , and only Meursault is reliable in that sense since no one around him really knows him. Other people's perceptions of Meursault could mess with how we think of him. That could also have a negative affect to what Camus is trying to convey, which is that you don't always have to make sense of the absurdity of the world, because if there was another character they might try to figure out Meursault.
