Why would they do that???

The only reason to add such a device....IS TO INCREASE STICK FORCES IN ORDER TO OVER COME LONGITUDINAL INSTABILITY.

There is no other reason for it. Inertial elevator is the fix for only one thing...longitudinal instability.
Again no one is denying that there was some instability and that from the Mk V onwards it was an issue that had to be resolved and was. I repeat again, that I personally do not have an issue with the instability as far as it exised in the BOB being modelled in the sim.

However, No one, absolutely no one, including you, has produced any evidence that it was a safety issue on the earlier marks during the BOB. No test report, no test pilot comments, no research establishment observations from any nation (including Germany) and the final proof, next to no accidents. Give us more than your theory as to what should happen and we can take it a stage further, but without some evidence all we have is your theory and that isn't close to good enough.

What also concerns me is that I did post a number of areas where I believe that we can agree on and use that to get the developers working on things that would improve the experience.
I strongly suggest that you spend a day looking at those proposals and we can all make some progress.
