There are lots of flood myths because humans generally settle near large bodies of water. Large bodies of water tend to flood, sometimes catastrophically.

The Atlantis "myth" was made up by Plato to make a point about what would happen to Athens if they got too big for their britches.

Civilizations that arose around rivers that flooded randomly had angry gods who wanted to punish people.
