The reason to separate fit from transform is to have a operation (transform) that does not use the "y". Indeed, in supervised learning, when not at fit time, the y is not available.
If your setting is that you never have a situation where y is not available and you want to transform the data using y, you may want to define fit_transform and not define fit or transform. You should then be able to call fit_transform on the Pipeline. Not however that this is a bit of an unusual pattern in scikit-learn, as it is not a classic setting of machine learning.
