'Bald' was often in the past used as an abbreviated form of 'piebald' or 'skewbald'...ie of variegated colour. Thus, when we say 'as bald as a badger' we mean it in that sense, a badger being very definitely black and white. Using it for the other word 'bald'...ie hairless...is just a sort of joke.
