Debian generally configures packages to support every feature shipped in Debian that is supported by that upstream. Where that results in a dynamic link, it results in a dependency on that shared library. This is by design. In this case then, linking libmecab2 and the resulting dependency is intentional in the design of Debian and of this package. If you want different build-time configurations to reduce disk space usage, you should probably use a source-based distribution rather than a binary distribution like Debian, or modify Debian to suit your needs. libmecab2 itself is only 1774k. You can use --no-install-recommends to avoid pulling in mecab-ipadic-utf8 and its chain of dependencies which is more considerable in size, though if you do that then you will need to deal with any missing functionality yourself. See the apt documentation for details on how "Recommends" works. I'm marking this wontfix since we have no plans to remove mecab from the build configuration. If you have a more specific suggestion then you're welcome to propose it and we can consider it.
