It's how you make the final boss big, monstrous and impressive while still retaining some sort of beauty.

People associate a big ugly brute as being stupid, and villains aren't supposed to be stupid.

Because of Evangelion. Meaningless religious imagery always amazes Japan no matter how nonsensical.

Because the final boss needs to come accross as godly, divine and all powerful.

Typically biblical representations give that impression off the easiest.
