Why was a diseased ridden vermin a mascot in the first place?
Because Walt had a rabbit character who was stolen from him.

It's not that complicated. They're small and cute and being lower on the food chain lends itself to setting them as the little guy fighting back against bigger foes.
They are vermin.
Real life mice are anything but cute
Yes they are
Then why aren't there more rabbits, moles, groundhogs, squirrels?

Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole are not that small.
