The typical half-blood family isn't a wizard married to a Muggle (though
there are cases of this, like Snape's parents and Seamus's parents); it's
a wizard married to a Muggle-born wizard, like Harry's parents and Tonks's
parents.

Wizards live hidden amongst Muggles so that fans can think "There
are wizards among us." Wizards are born to Muggles so fans can also
think "Maybe I'm one of them."

Fans are slans!
