Blood came out his side because it signified that he shed his blood for us on the cross.

Blood can from His heart because that's what runs through the heart.
Water came out also, because the heart is encased in the precardial sac, which is fill with clear fluid.

It is actually a medical condition where the heart under tremendous stress holds water. It has been observed in modern medicine.

based on pagan myths
but supposedly this happens in real life still
much of the books in gospels re-written to compete with modern gods and mythology
at the time even Jesus's followers did not consider him to be a demigod or half man/half god, all man/god being
but as the telephone game kept rolling, editors took liberties

Because it made for a better story. It makes him seem more mystical and such. It would be harder to get converts with mundane main characters.
Either that, or the people back then really didn't know much about human anatomy and were crudely describing bile and blood.
