He wishes Ferdinand and Miranda to marry as part of his plot to restore himself (and Miranda) to their rightful place in the Duchy of Milan. In engineering Ferdinand and Miranda's romance, Prospero realises that "too light winning" (getting Miranda's hand too easily) will "make the prize light" (he'll get bored and take her for granted, and move onto his next conquest.) So Prospero is rude and obnoxious to Ferdinand, making him into a servant and pretending to think he's a spy, in order to make him work for Miranda's affection, so he was to win her hand through great hardship and effort - therefore wanting to keep her.
So in summary: he's rude to Ferdinand because he understands male psychology! - and he wants Ferdinand not to have to work to earn Miranda's love.
