What you suggested would make blfs books diverge a lot, and that would make development harder. That's the same reason many packages are in both books, yet not required by systemv book (gperf, attr, acl, libcap, expat, xml::parser, etc). You are free to ommit the unnecessary packages yourself, if you feel the need.
I agree with your comment about divergence. The other packages you mention are needed by many packages in BLFS, not just systemd.
LFS has never been about building a minimal system. For instance, automake/autoconf are not needed to complete lfs. They are however needed for several packages in blfs and have been in lfs from the beginning.
