wow, what a remarkably easy question to answer...

Because everyone loves the classic dinosaurs, and its virtually impossible to watch a jurassic park movie without rooting for the dinosaurs and thinking they are amazing. You cant hate the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, what you can do is hate a genetically modified perversion of thieir beauty, and hope that the purebred dinosaurs kick its ass.

Genetically modified mutant dinosaurs open a lot of doorways in story-telling that would otherwise be unavailable. Otherwise its just a re-has and it comes off assaying that dinosaurs are bad and horrible and nobody should like them. But still, from a practical standpoint, what does a genetically modified hybrid bring to the table in terms of the park itself? I fail to understand the reasons for it. As Grant says in the first film - the meat eaters just do what they do - simple as that. Creating a genetically engineered hybrid that escapes and goes on a killing spree is not only creating a movie moster just for the sake of it but also it's doing what Grant criticized InGen of doing in the third film - "creating genetically engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less". Jurassic World is bound to have their critics who make this argument still, and creating a dinosaur hybrid not only fuels the fire for those critics but also undermines the integrity of their project. Logically the creation of such a mutant must call into question the authenticity of every other animal displayed in the park and from a marketing point of view, from a business point of view and from simple common sense, giving your critics ammunition is a very bad idea.
