I'm not saying this is my main belief, I just feel like bringing up a theory.
Sakurai has said that in Melee, he wanted someone to represent the 8-bit era. After a lot of looking, the Ice Climbers were chosen to be these representatives.
However, thanks to the graphical limitations of the 3DS, the Ice Climbers were incredibly hard to create. Since they weren't worth the effort, they had to be cut. Now lacking the 8-bit era representation (with the only characters who could've done so before now having newer games), Sakurai may have looked for someone to take their place, and thus, the Duck Hunt Dog along with a duck working as the same entity joined the fight.
This is purely speculation, but I'm curious about what you guys think.
And I apologize if someone already made a thread about this theory, since it seems like a pretty logical theory that could be pretty easy to come up with.
