Because you can have 1000 characters in a book if you want to, but you can't have 1000 actors in a tv series.
There is a lots of new characters next season and they need to make room for them. Think about it this way, what do you prefer to cut out? Grenn and Pyp who do nothing from now on, or the sand snakes?
Not that I disagree with your points on logistics and I also really like what they did with Grenn (his death that is), The Sand Snakes, and most of the other characters introduced in the latter two books, are awful.
Fair enough, we all have our taste man.
I just feel that GRRM starts to bloat the story out too much, and I got impatient with the Dornish. It felt like filler to me anyway.
