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?

There is two main reasons. The first and most widely known is that her virginity fulfills a prophecy in the Old Testament. "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign; the young woman, pregnant and about to bear a son, shall name him Emmanuel." Isaiah 7:14
Second reason is that Mary is the new Ark of the Covenant. I can explain this further if interested.
Nothing in the Bible is just for marketing or dramatics.
