Answers:
The potato does three things.

It is a nuetral base, it will offer the flavor of the cheese and onions better than any other medium.

It provides body. it is easy to get a light and fluffy pie when using potatoes.

It is a good binder. You need something to hold the pie together, and the starch in the potato is a perfect binder.

Other Answers:
All of the above, plus, potatoes cost almost nothing.
Because onion is just a flavoring agent. And I don't think that anyone would want to bite into a large piece of cheese (which would harden fast), with a thin pie crust (this would quikly get a hard texture when temperature drops), so the cheese is there for flavor just like the onion. All of these great flavors need to be bound with something, so in comes the potato.
