A lot of reasons
1) The French greatly over-estimated how many troops the Germans had and how effective these troops would be, they took all of the paramilitaries in the region, over-estimated those numbers, and counted them as regular soldiers. They decided with that that they would have to fully mobilize to invade.
2) Fully mobilizing costs a lot of money, and France was nearly broke in 1936.
3) Maybe they could send in a smaller force, but the problem with the French military was that any forces sent would mean 3 divisions that couldn't be raised, as every active division would convert into 4 divisions in war-time.
4) The French strategy was a defensive one, and they didn't plan to be launching offensives instantly at the start of the war, as they considered their 1 year conscripts unsuitable for such operations. Hence, the Germans remilitarizing it was not that important to the French strategy.
5) The French air force was already starting to lag behind the German one.
6) France could gain diplomatic advantage from this and tie Britain closer to her, meaning that a future war would have the British on their side.
7) Not many people wanted to go to war again.

If I were German, I would not declare war on the US when I'm already unable to defeat the UK and USSR

This.
The USA would have totally focused on beating the shit out of the fucking Nips and left England to sink and drown to the Nazis. But NOoooo! Adolf fux up the entire plan of getting rid of bot Nips & Brits. Now we're still stuck with all of them.

bit of a reach there

Yeah, the French were idiots for trusting the Eternal Anglo to help them out, but that's what they thought at the time, that the Anglo would be useful.

The US would have ended up in a war with the Germans eventually anyway, or would have supported the UK to an extent that that wouldn't have mattered (after all, the UK would be a co-belligerant so the US could just give lots of """""aid to fight the Japanese""""" to the British that then gets used against the Germans.
