It seems to me that the reason is that it is similar to the two foods that are used on the night of Pesach as a reminder of the Pesach offering and the Chagiga offering – in the same way [on Shavuot] we eat dairy food followed by meat food, and therefore need to bring two loaves onto the table, which reminds us of the Mizbeach, and we do this to remind us of the two loaves that were brought on "the day of the Bikkurim." 2.
