Due to certain groups of humans migrating to different regions of the planet, they would begin to share certain common traits among one another. This created what can be deemed as "racial differences." Now they certainly aren't any bit significant enough to justify acting like one race is better than anothe,r but it is why people from different parts of the world will look a certain way. While the tearing down of regional boundaries in recent years has led to a bigger mix of traits, it's still coming off thousands of years of regional breeding between people. Masuda being Asian is just a part of this long history. Nothing more.
In a sense, breeding is an important part of being a living creature. Duplication ensures two things: a creature can live on a sense, and it can hope its offspring grow even stronger and adapted. That's why it's brilliant that breeding is such a big part of Pokémon. Many times, you'll want to breed until you get a specimen fit to compete with the strongest foes out there. A Pokémon is meant to be a living creature, whether they are a common mouse or a sentient teacup, so the fact they can fuck each other really adds to the immersion. You know, whenever you're beating it off to Gardevoir porn or whatever, just think about that. Sex is one of the greatest gifts of life.
