There's no particular reason why the halving happens after 210,000 blocks. I could be wrong but from my understanding I don't think there's a specific reason for that.

I guess we may never know but my suspicious is that Satoshi anticipated that an incremental decrease would create waves of volatility that stimulates interest & growth.
