Edit: I mean for Cinder and not from a story perspecctive. Even from a story perspective, there's no point. Pyrrha didn't have any character growth she could go through; she was already the perfect person who is physically strong, has won multiple tournaments and is world renowned, is kind and intelligent and supportive. She didn't further the plot in any way beyond being a teaching role for Jaune (and by extension us in the beginning as we learnt the terminology).

She was created to die, and it showed because there was nothing left for her to learn as a character.
