That Potal 2 beta intro looks epic, I wonder why they didn't end up using it.

Epic, yes. Cool, yes. But developers shouldn't include stuff just because it's epic and cool. The intro that made it in to the game introduces you to Wheatley, gives you a subtle explanation of what's been happening in the time since Portal 1 and demonstrates the decrepitude of Aperture.
I suspect that the intro shown in that video was from the point in Portal 2's development where they intended the protagonist to be a new character and not Chell.
