Homes with multiple bathrooms have outlets connected in series with a red reset button in the system. What is the reason for this circuit design?

It is a safety feature, to prevent getting electrocuted.

It is there in case a circuit may not work or water may have entered the circuit they can reset or cut off the switch to get rid of the water.
