If you had 0mm toe in the rear then at highway speed the friction from the road will pull your tires rearward resulting in negative toe. This can cause wandering and undesirable steering effects.

On the front wheels you have the engine driving them forward so this results in more positive toe at highway speeds, the torque from the engine pulls them forward. That's why you want 0mm toe on the front.
