I believe there's a few ideas on the reason. The original related piece from Shatranj/Chaturanga was the elephant, the Alfil. Many early pieces were representational and the elephant was essentially a piece with two tusks

When imported into Europe, and made into the bishop, the bishop hat mitre is the the influence.
