In my opinion, I think there were several reasons, but I am sure a theologian can give you specifics. I know that the number seven itself has a great deal of importance and symbolism in The Bible, but I do not know if it has any significance in this instance.
#1 there were seven lessons that were to be learned and those churches were chosen as perhaps being the most fitting to each lesson. For instance, the church in Sardis had the most problems with people being lukewarm so it was chosen to represent this lesson and so forth.
#2 the churches were merely vessels used to spread the word. they represented an area or a type of people, and not necessarily a single congregation.
Again, these are my opinions, not necessarily fact.

To Whom was the Book of Revelation written for?
The book of revelation is doctrinally written to seven churches that will be on the earth during the time of the great tribulation. The Church of today will not be on the earth during the time that revelation unfolds on the earth. These tribulation churches will be required to believe and express faith in different ways much of the time than the Church of today. That is why much of what Christ says when speaking to these seven churches in revelation is somewhat different than what Paul wrote to the church of today in Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, ect.
What different denomination names origionated from each one of the 7 churches in Revelation chapters 1 - 3?
There is no connection between the seven churches of Revelation and contemporary denominations. There are no denominations that trace their lineage to one of the churches mentioned in the apocalypse. The churches in Revelation were gatherings of believers in seven established cities of the time. The very concept of a "denomination" did not arise until many centuries later, and certainly not until after the Reformation which began in the 1500's. If any legally recognized denomination were to use the name of one of the ancient churches in their title, it would be nothing more than a label without substance.
