How the heck else are you going to get the "Jesus is the son of God" idea across without having Mary impregnated by God? If she'd gotten pregnant with Jesus after she and Joseph had been married, then everyone would think that Jesus was just Joseph's kid. Having Mary pregnant before she was married and while still a virgin made the divine conception story look more magical.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
