Well, for starters, Yoh and some of the team wanted to give Akko a love interest, which is the main reason for the boys’ existence in the story. Since the show’s themes revolve around believing in oneself and challenging preconceived notions, I think they figured that introducing a group of non-magical guys from a school that doesn’t believe in magic and even looks down on witches would be the best way to challenge Akko’s beliefs and, in turn, help her grow. It was more about challenging Akko’s dreams at the end of the day. If a S2 ever happens, i could see them introducing multiple schools with boys, Harry Potter style.
