There's no real theological answer to that question. They just sort of developed that way, from rounded hats, to hats with a valley in the middle, and to hats with more of a valley in the middle, to hats with big points. BTW the official name for a bishop's hat is a mitre.

One possible answer is that they evolved from the crowns of laurels that ancient Roman athletes were given when they won a race. The bishop is leading his flock, so he is out ahead in the "race".
