Mueller's report made it clear that there was "insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy" (quote from the report).
Mueller was prohibited by DOJ rules from indicting Trump.

It was his responsibility to determine, and so state, if there was sufficient evidence to do so. Otherwise there was no reason for his investigation. It was not meant to be evidence gathering for Congress. Congress doesn't need his investigation for that. It does its own gathering and it can impeach for any reason it chooses if it has the votes to do so.
