Again, the Queen's witch form also embodies that same message, and last I checked, Snow White is being released to the next generation anyways via rereleases, so it's not like they'll learn anything from Hans that they won't learn from Snow White.

And BTW, he also doesn't embody the looks can be deceiving message either, as Gaston had that covered as well. Heck, Snow White's evil queen had that as well (don't forget, the queen wasn't called "the fairest of the land" for nothing.), and that's not even counting the queen's witch form which is also a lesson as to how thinking that ugly people are inherently good is just as dangerous and disastrous as, possibly even moreso than, thinking that beautiful people are inherently good (remember, Snow White trusted the hideous peddler who was her stepmother in disguise, and she got landed in a coma for it).

So no, the next generation doesn't need Hans for those messages, as they can get them easily with Gaston and the Evil Queen anyways, especially when Disney has a habit of rereleasing their classics every period of time.
