They weren't and they don't. They're pretty obviously pagan fertility symbols; unlike with a lot of other pagan symbolism ("Christmas" trees, for example), I don't think that anyone has even made a determined effort to try to co-opt bunnies and eggs as some sort of tortured Christian allegory since it would be so transparently false.

PS As long as you're getting upset about stuff, the word "Easter" itself is derived from the name of a pagan goddess of the dawn.

Why are bunnies and eggs part of Easter?

Bunnies are special on Easter because they symbolize new life, which is what Spring is about. It has been a tradition to have an Easter bunny and that is also why bunnies are so important - they keep up the tradition. Also, according to folklore, rabbits layed the eggs that the kids picked up, so without the Easter bunny, there would not be any story behind where the eggs come from. More generally, actually bunnies are special because the whole Easter bunny tradition is focused around them.
