There was more than one reason for that. The Lord was mocking the Egyptian god Osiris. Each plague was tailored to mock one of their gods. It was his way of showing his supremacy. When the angel of death claimed the first born of the Egyptians, they tried to invoke Osiris to resurrect their dead only to have it fail, and then they knew who the real God was for once in their lives. The Ipuwer Papyrus mentions the plagues.
