In the frequency domain, if you add two sinusoidal waves to each other, you see four peaks. You have the two input frequencies, you have the sum, and you have the difference. Since the purpose of the Intermediate Frequency in the Superheterodyne design is to move the signal down to a more manageable frequency domain, i.e. one with fewer design challenges, we pick the difference.

Why two frequencies are used in dtmf?

The tone frequencies, are selected such that harmonics and intermodulation products will not cause an unreliable signal. No frequency is a multiple of another, the difference between any two frequencies does not equal any of the frequencies, and the sum of any two frequencies does not equal any of the frequencies.
