It's not designed to remove airfields from the map. Removing airfields from the map just because they have shorter runways is not a wise thing to do.

You may not be able to land there, but knowing that there is an airfield nearby with possibly associated traffic is something I consider valuable information. -- LSZA based DA40 / SR20 / S22T / PIVI / TWEN

Also, in the event of an engine failure, in many circumstances it will be better to land on a prepared strip that is nominally too short than take your chances with a much worse surface.
