There's a test to get into Eden. Anya barely passed that by reading minds, presumably because other kids were also stumped, and she also couldn't filter out the smart answers.

Loid's main role was to find a kid that'd get him into the academy to meet the guy he needs. A smart kid who could get in academically as well as understand some basic thing to not screw up his spy plan makes sense. It'd be hard to find someone elegant in an orphanage.

The point system introduced here also favours merits.
