An egg cell is haploid because the offspring gets one set of chromosomes from its mother and one set from its father, making it diploid. Haploid means that the egg contains one set of chromosomes. When the egg joins with the sperm (which is also haploid) the two cells unite and create a diploid zygote. If your egg and sperm cells weren't haploid than the offspring would have to many sets of chromosomes and would not be able to develop correctly.
