Steve didn't appear in Zeo's final episode either - we only get to see a morphed version of Zeo Ranger III in "Good as Gold".
It was basically because of easy writing why we've had a Kid Ranger for a season. And a movie.
Anyway, I had no problem with Justin, really. He was kind of cool. But - in-story: someone had to receive a HUGE paycheck and (at least) a dinner in order to allow Power Rangers to have a kid on their team.

Justin wasn't a tough sell really. As Shulki figured they would capitalize on the success of Big Bad Beetleborgs.
