What you are missing is that God required both. If he was the product of a hooker and a junkie, he would have been like other men but not God. If he bypassed Mary entirely and just came to earth in his own form without the flesh, or created his own unique flesh, then he would have been God but not related to man. To be both God and Man required the unique way in which he was born, but I must also point out that being born of a virgin was primarily a sign and not a necessity of what God was doing in becoming flesh.
