In Genesis 6:3 God made what the lifespan of man in the flesh should be.
So all people who where born after this had a generation of 120 years.
Those such as Adam who were born before did fall under this, thus the longer life.

Genesis 6:3 “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”

Because the bible is a work of absurdist bad fan fiction.

There is no evidence that humans ever lived that long.

There is no evidence anywhere that humans lived for hundreds of years. The Bible is a most unreliable book of myths and hearsay.

Likely so that the human population would increase at a faster rate.

There was a genetic bottleneck at the time of the great Flood.  One bad mutation in Noah or his wife, and presto, shorter life spans.  Maybe due to shortened telomeres?

The length of a year and even a day has changed. Other factors in our environment have changed. Also there appears to have been a different biological clock because those who lived a long time did not have kids till they were old men by todays standards. Enoch for example was 65 before he had his first son.
The present limitation was pronounced by God to be limited to 120 years. That was if they found favor with God.
Later a Psalmist wrote:
"Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." Psalms 90:10

The excessive years of life are most likely because those long lives were predominantly prior to Noah's flood. After the flood, the atmosphere would have been changed, and even continental drift began after the flood, on Genesis 10:25.

Well God has the ability to do all things but told Moses to write he will not arrive with humans forever there days be 120 years. 
In the Book of Isaiah the prophet says one day 100 years old will be like a child and anyone that making that age would be considered curse isaiah 65:20
