Given the relative value in the Jewish culture (or virtually any culture) of the time I think that one is pretty straightforward. A son was of great value and for God to give us His Son would be instantly recognized as a big deal. The fact that he still forgives us after the way we treated His Son is a REALLY big deal.
In the context of that culture a Daughter of God would have been greeted with "gee, thanks a whole bunch. So what's Your point?"
Klein recounts that at the 2004 Democratic Convention, Heinz Kerry tried to prevent vice presidential candidate John Edwards from joining her husband onstage before she did, insisting, "I am the spouse. I go first." Unable to reason with the woman, Klein writes, a young aide waited until the end of Kerry's speech then "blocked Teresa with both arms, turned his head, and yelled to Edwards — 'Run!'"
