I think you're trying to rely on your English language experience too much.  
This is a standard way to state such in Greek.  Read more and you'll see.

Subject: [B-Greek] Double article

Dear List - Does anyone have any thoughts about the use of the double article in 
hO hUIOS TOU ANQRWPOU which Jesus used of himself many times?  He even asked the 
newly healed man who had been born blind, if he knew who "The son of the man 
is". Stephen used it too when he saw Jesus at the right side of God.
In Daniel 7, Revelation 14 and Ezekiel 37 no definite article is used for "son 
of man".
Could it be some Jewish 'code speak' for Messiah, "The man" being perhaps 
understood to be David or maybe Adam?
