Considering how much Sauron enjoyed corrupting all that was good, could it be possible that the reason Black Speech sounds similar to Valarin is that Sauron wanted a corrupted version of Valarin for his slaves to use? In that way, he would have mocked Iluvatar, by saying, "Look, don't I resemble you? I'm doing exactly what you were." That would have greatly hurt Iluvatar and the Valar, which is probably what Sauron was going for.
