I am building a Beamtown Bullies and I see too much people playng that deck with cards like Bane of Bala Ged, Breaker of Armies and Ulamog's Crusher... I don't understand why. Somebody know?

It's because you give creatures from your own graveyard to your opponents, and then Goad them.
So a goaded creature can't attack you if there's anything else to attack, and The Beamtown Bullies makes your opponents beat down each other with your stuff.
So because you're safe from the attacks of your own creatures, you can fill your graveyard with creatures with the most devastating attack triggers that only bully the defending player. That's what you see happening here. These Eldrazi creatures have the biggest impact on the battliefield because of their annihilator-like attacking triggers, while still be able to reside in the graveyard. An Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre would be awesome to make one opponent send at the other, but the Bullies say 'nonlegendary' and shuffling your graveyard is not great in this deck.

Thanks to plakjekaas and legendofa, I forgot about the goad (my bad)

I haven't seen the deck in action, but I assume The Beamtown Bullies reanimates one of these creatures under an opponent's control. Since the Bane of Bala Ged or whatever is goaded, the opponent will be forced to attack another one of your opponents, hopefully killing a few creatures and exiling a couple of key permanents. It's basically forcing one opponent to use mass removal on another opponent.
