Where do you see that the Torah was uncomfortable with kiddushei biah?
If that was the case why didn't the Torah change the din and disallow
kiddushei biah? There are many things that were permitted before matan
torah which are now assur to us. The fact that the Torah did not
disallow kiddushei biah seems to imply that the Torah had no problem
with it. If so why did Chazal ban it? Probably for the same type of
reason that we no longer do Yibum. Chazal felt that people would do it
shelo l'shem mitzva of have pritzusdik kavanos and therefore banned
it.
