That are not limiting. They are evidence of the past and allow the state to have two people to hold responsible for a child's wellbeing.Every state has similar laws.
Sec. 160.204. PRESUMPTION OF PATERNITY. (a) A man is presumed to be the father of a child if:
(1) he is married to the mother of the child and the child is born during the marriage;
Again, how is it relevant if marriage is not about procreation? 20% of married opposite sex couples cannot have children. 30 to 40% of all children are being raised by different than both biological parents. And even those being raised by their married bio parents may very well have others in their lives who are mistaken for their bio parents, such as an aunt or uncle.
Nothing about your argument is a valid one to limit marriage only to opposite sex couples. Marriage is not primarily about making babies with each other.
