Gameplay-wise, the reason why Persians have War Elephant as UU is because Persians are supposed to become a very melee cavalry oriented civ. That's why they have complete Stable tech tree (excluding RotR), team bonus that affecting Knights, & a very strong but very slow cavalry UU. And to balance their strong & diverse cavalry, they have less-powerful archers & limited Swordsmen line.
