I'm not as knowledgeable as say Arch or others on Warhammer lore but I'd probably say because they were additive to the lore than subtractive like this push.
Sisters of Battle for example, the armoured and heavily armed nuns of the imperium, get power from their faith, kinda like chaos does only they only worship the Big E so it was fun having a faction with enemy mechanics on 'our side'
Sisters of Silence, have a genetic trait that makes them hated by everyone on instinct but have the powers to be a psykers worst nightmare so they compliment Custodies in protecting the Emperor.
The making the Custodies have females too doesn't add anything, you're subtracting established lore to add them. The Empire has no problem of women (and children looking at the Kiegsmen) being sent to the front line as they're in the Guardsmen and Inquisition as much as the men with one notable female Inquisition member being close to Ciaphas Cain

I assume op complains about how ugly the recent models are
'recent'
Hee. This is nothing new - I can't think of a warhammer model that shows a characters face that actually looks good.
They can do armor really nicely, but faces? Good luck there.
Yeah, that has been an issue of their models forever regardless of sex. This is a primarch, near the peak of humanity
its not just the problem with them being ugly. Its that the "female" characters have absolutely zero femininity to them
