It's because:
a) You cannot have 'a' bread. You either have a piece of bread, a loaf of bread, or some bread.
b) You either have: A slice of cheese, a piece of cheese, or some cheese; it's never 'a' cheese.
c) It's perfectly natural to say: "I would like a sandwich."
d) You either have a bowl of soup, a cup of soup, or some soup.
