i wonder why they decided to make Turles an almost exact replica of Goku

Turles was developed to be 'Kakarot', the personality of Goku that was erased when the latter fell from a cliff. Therefore, Turles is shown to be merciless, prideful and confident. His cruel treatment of Gohan proves that he cares little to nothing for others, shown again when he reveals no sadness what-so-ever when Goku defeats his loyal subordinates. As with many other villains before and after him, his main objective is to conquer the universe, though he plans on doing so by using his Tree of Might, even if it means killing so many innocent people in the process. He also seems to enjoy sake [Japanese Dub] and finds pleasure in seeing others suffer, as how he laughed when Goku was being attacked by his own son.

Turles was one of those villains that I honestly didn't know how Goku was going to beat him. Broly was another but I didn't get the feeling it was as impossible as Turles.
