We say in the haggadah that the reason we eat matzah is because BN"Y had to run out and did not have time to let the dough rise. Yet even without that reason, they had to eat matzah because Hashem had given them a mitzvah to do so beforehand. Which is it -- the mitzvah or the haste? Answer (according to some of the meforshim at least) is both -- Hashem gave them the mitzvah anticipating the fact that they would have to leave b'chipazon.

"Ha lachma" combines both themes, showing that we've corrected both problems and now anticipate an upcoming geulah.
