Pyrrha's death was decided and confirmed early on in the development stages of the show. Fan favorite or not, stuff like that doesn't influence a plot-line of the show. When characters die, they die, this isn't a kids show where they magically come back to life.

As for Penny, chances are there that she can be rebuild or something along those lines. I'm pretty sure we didn't see that scene of Penny's Creator for nothing.
