You are not allowed to eat anything with yeast because of the fact that the tradition was that they had no yeast with them and matzo is bread without yeast, so its some of the only things you can eat.

Why on other nights we eat bread but on this night we don't eat bread?

Because when the Jews let Egypt, they left in haste, and as story tells us, they carried their dough on their backs through the desert, where it baked into unleavened bread. So during Passover, we only eat unleavened bread as a reminder of this. The Torah contains a Divine commandment to eat matzo, specifically, on the first night of Passover and to eat only unleavened bread (in practice, matzo) during the entire week of Passover. Hope this helps!
