Three reasons:
>1) Recuperate the population of Greece. After Alexander's conquests the population was weak and needed to regenerate. The first thing the Hasmoneans did after taking over was to start kicking ethnic Greeks out back to Greece.
>2) Fight the Seleucids. The Egyptian and Hellenic Greeks wanted the Seleucids knocked down a peg. After their independence, the "jews" immediately declare war on the Seleucids and provided a buffer state against the east.
>3) This is the most important one of all: subvert Canaanite identity. The Canaanites were the only ethnic group that could rival the Greco-Romans in the Mediterranean or indeed in the world. Subverting their religious customs eroded their identity, destroyed their history, and cut them off from the source of their cultural strength. If they continued with their practices and their methods with an older history and unifying dialectic then Europe likely wouldn't be around today. Tricking them out of their religion was the best way to ensure dominance of the Greeks and their scions.
Therefore judaism was the perfect weapon for destroying Canaanites.
