A number of folks who ought to know better seem to think there's no point in using a larger pipe diameter than whatever the size of tap coming out of the main is. That is most certainly not the case. If that was the case, I'd be able to run my garden sprinkler, which has an output orifice that's about an eighth of an in in diameter, using an eighth inch line. In fact, I can't get by even with 5/8 inch hose; I have to use 3/4 inch hose because the garden is about 150 feet from the house and there's too much pressure drop using 5/8 inch hose.
If you go too small on your water line, it won't matter if the tap at the main is 3/4 inch, one inch, or six inches, because the undersized pipe will restrict flow below what can pass through the tap.
Also, there's no reason to reduce your pipe size as you get closer to the house. Keep the pipe size the same the full length. If you don't think you need 2 inch for the full distance, just run one and a half inch the whole way.
