She wasn't deliberately made to look like Bismarck, it's just that her archetypal Kriegsmarine design coupled with an identical turret layout made her look pretty similar. It's actually pretty difficult to tell ships apart if they have an identical turret layout and similar superstructures with the only real differences being the size of the ships. There's also the fact that cruisers tend to be very long for their displacements and because of this Eugen was over 200 meters long despite only being a third of Bismarck's displacement, which is not that different to Bismarcks 240m length.
