The marching aspect of marching band started as a direct effect of the military band's influence on the marching band, but more importantly, marching serves a few purposes - it keeps the musicians in tempo by making them actively move in time, and it keeps the unit as a whole organized, not just a bunch of people walking around in sorta the same area.
There are also technical aspects of marching - the mechanics of the leg follow through and the foot placement/angle support the upper half of the body, especially for a wind player. If players didn't march, there would be a "wawawawa" in the sound for every time they clomped their feet on the ground.
