Frisbees actually originated from college campuses. The Frisbie Baking Company first started making pies that were sold to a lot of New England colleges. They were made in pie plates that were shaped like the modern Frisbee. Some college kids decided that, "Hey, these make good toys! We can throw them around and play them like a sport!" So, that's how it originated.
Then, in 1948, Walter Frederick Morrisson and Warren Franscioni made a plastic Frisbee that flew better (aerodynamically). So, basically, that's how the Frisbee came to be.

Well, they fly better - aerodynamically - being round.
Also, if they were pointy, it would hurt to catch them. Ow!
Probably the best reason is that they were patterned after round pie tins at the Frisbie Baking Co., which is the origin of the toy.

Because when you caught a square one in your teeth, if the corner happened to rotate just right, it could rip your cheek out, foo.

If they had corners they would be called Killbees.
