Santa and the Easter Bunny were created for children, because in all honesty, who the hell wants to celebrate the death of Jesus?
It's just a less morbid way to look at it.

Nice idea, but nope. Doesn't really work considering Christmas is celebrating Jesus' BIRTH - and that's not morbid at all - and Easter is celebrating his resurrection (basically, re-birth), which is also not morbid at all. That's why Easter is the happiest, most chearful, and most important of all Christian holiday's.
Santa was originally something for children, yes, but in emulation of Saint Nick - only to be warped by a material society into something totally different than intended. And, honestly, I'm not sure of the origins of the Easter Bunny, but I can guarantee you whatever good intentions the idea was started with have been lost by now.
