Those things are illegal because of state law, not because they happen to be also happen to appear in the ten commandments.
It would appear that the ten commandments are what inspired and created the fundamental foundation for law and society in modern Western civilization. The reason state laws exist are because of the influence of the commandments rather than "happen" to exist" independent of them. They are the very basis and reason for these laws.

If a man commits a murder, that man must be killed.
If a man commits a robbery, he will be killed.
That predates the 10 Commandments by 700-1000 years.
It's from Code of Ur-Nammu
