A simple explanation is this - a curved surface has natural strength to it. Like standing on the top of a pop can - it can support an awesome amount of weight before crushing - assuming the load is bearing down directly perpendicular to the wall of the can and there are no dents in it.
Of you were to cut a parabolic cone in half and looked at the profile, you'd see that the sides are curved.
It's the same reason why auto manufacturers put little ridges and curves in the floor of your car - inherent strength.

Back to the original question about cone resonances.
Companies who are serious about speaker production take into account three primary criteria when they design a speaker cone - Mass, Rigidity and Damping. They acheive these criteria through combinations of different materials in different shapes to produce the desired result.
Three examples of cone designs that utilise multiple materials to acheive these goals are the Focal W-sandwich on the Utopia and the Kevlar sandwich on the Polykevlar and K2 cones, and the Kicker Tri-Tech cone.
