The serpent was the closest creature to human that there was, it even had the ability to reason, hence the word "subtil". Also it's seed was able to mix with the seed of a human.
Or maybe the people coming up with the tale were afraid of snakes? Like, you know, people often are? Because they can bite and poison you, and slither around instead of walking?
