So they choose Mew as the best candidate to create a extremely powerful pokemon from, since at the time it was considered to be a new-species and its power was unknown to most?"It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments." - Mewtwo's Pokedex entry from the first game.
The diary in the mansion says:
"Mew gave birth. We named the newborn Mewtwo."
The game also heavily implies Mewtwo was created to be the strongest Pokemon, just like the anime does. And this is only the first 2 games. All the games that followed basically solidified the idea. In truth Mewtwo is just scientists trying to create the very best Pokemon. They weren't trying to make a Mew clone, just the most powerful Pokemon.
