These are two different things. Gingerbread is a something to eat or something that is very ornate. The gingerbread man is the main character in a children's story. The story is beloved by children for many reasons. The first reason is that as the cookie runs away to escape being eaten the list of those who failed to catch it grows. Those hearing the story get to repeat the growing list and so become part of the story. Children also love the the sly fox who uses great strategy to get the gingerbread man close enough to eat. They love the simplicity of the moral that food is meant to be eaten. Everything has a purpose so why do some people over decorate their houses to resemble the gingerbread house discovered by the abandoned children in another story? That is another story for another day.
