1. They were removed  because of a lawsuit that resulted in the creator of the chracters becoming the owner of them. So SEGA doesn't own any of those removed characters and can't use them in any TV shows or future movies.

2. That would be be a lot of characters.

3. There would be a lot of continuity issues with that. Would Sonic still be fighting with the freedom fighters? Are they on Earth or Mobuis ? If they are fusing Sonic X how would they fit Chris in? It's easier if they just create a new universe when they make new shows like what they did with Sonic Boom.
