They're keeping Liu Kang as a revenant because I'm guessing they wanted to move the story away from being "Liu Kang and his shitty friends win Mortal Kombat", because that's what it was. Liu Kang won everything forever until he was double-teamed by Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, and he even got out of that eventually. Now that time has moved on and a new generation of fighters has come up, he's less relevant. Even in his freed form in versus mode, his quotes are usually full of bitterness.
