I think the reasoning is that since Jews lacked foreskins but their neighbors the philistines had them, bringing the foreskins showed that it was not Jews you went out to kill. It's like if you wanted someone to kill 100 rattler snakes and as proof you bring 100 rattlers as that's their distinctive body part.

So we actually have found some logic in Bible? Unexpected...

I mean, the "logic" that led to the Israelites not having foreskin to begin with isn't exactly rock solid.

(Some) Jews do that as part of the circumcision ceremony—Metzitzah B'Peh.

It's not like it... They litterally brought the rattlers

No, he literally brought foreskins. That's like bringing rattlers.
