Luffy will always be the underdog. The Strawhats will be the default weaker Yonko crew against the Blackbeard Pirates when they face them, and they will be the underdogs against the WG after. Yamato would have thrown off that balance in comparison to the Blackbeard pirates.
Ask Oda why he...
The Strawhats were always going to leave Wano, so Oda needed someone left behind to protect it. Someone who could face Kaido like Yamato did was always too much for the crew, especially since they would still need to be the underdogs for the present time.
