Because the story was written down by and for an ancient people - they hadn't discovered titanium yet. God making people from the earth is a real image for them that they understand. If the Bible was written today, it might use analogies like God inventing humans like we invent a fantastic new piece of electronics - unique and awesome!
By the way, I don't think that the Bible is strictly analogy - there is truth to it, but truth needs to be told to people in language and words that make sense to their time and place.

There is one ancient Christian text that says that god created man from clay and the blood of a fallen god. Now if he is the only god then where did the fallen one come from?
As to titanium? I'd prefer adamantium. Never a broken bone and me and wolverine could hang.

Look how proud some lumps of clay get....How proud would they be as titanium???
This was demonstrating the fact that God made us as He wanted.
Isa 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Jer 18:6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

Well...a clay pot will break if dropped from high altitudes without a parachute, muuuuuuch like a human. Making us out of something versatile--yet not unbreakable--is a way to remind of us our humanity and mortality. The end.

26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:26-27
God must not be made of titanium if he created in his image

There is enough clay for the billions on the planet, I don't think there is enough Titanium.

when women give birth, they're hips and pelvic bones would not flex.
When you had falls and hard knocks, bones will give a little.
Without bones. You could never make it through airport security.
without bones, you could not go back to dust to dust.

Since the time of the first sin, we were doomed to be infallible.
