This is what I was thinking as well. I like them and I grew up with the OT, but I like how this new series doesn't try to be a cookie cutter of the OT.
People want B&R, but would you rather have had them be the villains besides the ones in the 2003 series? No Bishop, no Karai, no Hun, just these two as the main henchmen (besides Baxter.) The reason why I say this is that I don't think these two guys can be effective tertiary villains for long, their main iconic-ness almost always whenever they show up is to be Shredder's main henchmen. They would eventually steal the spotlight away from these other unique villains.
They are often intended as comic relief and bumbling villains whenever they get established, and I don't want to see the bad guys lose their serious edge. When that happens, the bad guys stop feeling like a threat.
