IIRC, I think "the woman's bed was her own" had to do with the menstrual issue being considered unclean, and if a man touched his wife who wasn't pregnant, but menstruating, he was ritually unclean as a result. It's somewhere around that same passage, but I can't be bothered to look, LOL.

I also recall that this (segregation of menstruating women) is/was practiced in indigenous peoples around the world, so maybe it's an ingrained thing that got written down as law? Along with the other, necessary, laws I mean. (Don't kill, don't steal, don't sink everything you have into false idols.) The reasoning being, if a woman has her period, she's not pregnant, and so is "barren" which was never considered a good thing, in ancient times. Propagation of the species, and all that.

I think the menstruation taboo was more of a health issue that got out of hand just like most health issues did back then (remember, no such things as pads or tampons, and cloth pads and the like were not terribly advanced), combined with a lot of patriarchal "ewwww!" about something that men didn't experience, and since ~men~ didn't experience it, it was ~obviously~ "other" and creepy.

mostly this I think. and just the general mess of having noplace to put all that blood in a lot of situations.

About 80% of all those rules in the OT are at heart health issues - all the foods you're not supposed to eat are things that spoil very easily in the heat so you really shouldn't eat that stuff etc.
