Probably because babies born as a result of incest are often defective in some way, and that would've convinced people that incest was being punished by God.
Now we have contraceptives, if you want to sleep with your Mother, go ahead and do it.

It considered taboo because the product of such a mating would most likely produce a mutant-like baby, due to the genetic similarity between mother and son. Apart from that, it's just seems really wrong!

Because the judeo-xtian religion is sexually repressive.
True, it can lead to deformities known as "inbreeding", but if birth control is used it's not a problem. In ancient Pagan times it wasn't uncommon for the father to take his daughter's virginity. King Tut was married to his own half sister, as were many ancient Pagan kings. Even today in Islamic countries it's desirable to marry one's first cousin, which would be considered incest in all Western countries.
We of the Wiccan faith have no problem with two adults who mutually wish to enagage in incest. Someone showed me this information from the Roamin' Church ( a Neopagan group) website:
"Incest between consenting adults would generally present no difficulties. There is, in fact, strong reason to believe that adolescents were commonly 'initiated' into the 'mysteries of sex' by their parents. In defense of this practice, one might ask, who more than a loving mother or father could show gentleness and sensitivity during one's introduction to physical love? We are not talking about rape as is currently thought of in connection to incest, but a family based system of education into the sexual arts. The damage which incest causes is not normally physical, but emotional, the shattering of trust and control of one's own body. This system would not cause such pain."
So there you have it!

dear fellow, it is not a taboo but a sin to think of. Start doing meditation, these thoughts/questions should not traverse a sane mind.

You should read some books on freudian psychoanalysis. Your question involves the basic principles of ID, EGO and SUPEREGO.
This question pertaining to ID, the primitive instincts and energies.
