Because the problem with dragon faunus isn't that they have wings, or that they breath fire, or that they're mythical chosen ones destined to save the world single-handedly and develop massive harems along the way... although those things are all contributing factors.

The problem is that every single faunus seen in the show has traits from a very real, normal animal present in the world. And DRAGONS. ARE. NOT. REAL. ANIMALS. Not even in Remnant. The only dragon we've seen in Remnant is that one giant dragon-Grimm, and that doesn't qualify as a real animal. In fact, most mythological creatures seem to exist as Grimm in Remnant, but not as actual living creatures that are part of the circle of life. So cat faunus? Okay. Monkey faunus? Okay. Chameleon faunus? Okay. Spider faunus? Okay.

Griffin faunus? Not okay. Minotaur faunus? Not okay. Dragon faunus? Definitely not okay. Taking out the wings doesn't mean anything, it's the concept itself that doesn't work.
