Why is it so important to Christians that Mary had to be a virgin?
Was it just a marketing idea for a more dramatic touch?

I don't think it's very important it's just they hold their faith on it. If the stories faults then that means there whole life's philosophy is false. The Virgin Mary is a good example. I love the story of the Virgin Mary and I do pray to her sometimes.
The smokin gun in my own faith growing up in the Mormon church is that Joseph Smith prayed and two angels appeared I think they were Jesus and John the Baptist, but I don't remember for sure. This wasn't they way he originally told the story this version didn't appear until the church was already established and he was much older. I don't believe that Joseph Smith prayed into the woods asking God what is the true church and that destroyed my faith in the Mormon religion.
