So an internal poll is when a candidate pays for a poll in a certain race, and they sometimes leak or just get straight up released, but when people see them, no one really takes them seriously? But why?

An internal poll, while it might be rigged in favor of a candidate, but it doesn't make sense for a poll to be rigged in favor of a candidate. If a poll is biased/rigged then it doesn't give the candidate an accurate representation of the electorate, and wouldn't help them at all, and also mislead them.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, what's the reasoning to discredit an internal poll.
