i think the reason is because it sounds catchy, like a slogan that is easy for people to remember, because "Crush" and "Curve" have the same first letter. this is called an "alliteration". it sounds good to hear because the two words start with the same sound.
a lot of movements like this use catchy phrases or slogans to get the public to understand or remember the cause or the issue.
"crush the curve" means the same thing as flattening or getting rid of the curve. it just sounds more exciting and memorable.
