That’s because it was originally a riddle, IIRC. ‘Humpty dumpty’ was slang for a fat person, and ‘an egg’ was the answer.
I am not getting the punch line.
Actually, Humpty Dumpty was a Castle Defense Cannon. It was fired one time and blew itself off the wall. The rhyme makes sense.

Why would you expect horses to try to put someone together again? Haha.
