Can't use 100 as freezing and 0 as boiling. Since 100 is much greater than 0, and the energetic kinetic motion of water molecules are greater while boiling than while freezing, it just makes sense to have the greater value with the greater value, and vise versa.
Not to mention the fact that having huge negative numbers for extremely hot events would be a pain in the arse!
