In my view, the only reason why Rani, Azaad and Binga have been introduced to the story was to set up a single-species relationships for the three main characters so to end the show in the most common way. I think Disney people already knew that this show was no longer profitable. That's the reason why they decided to wrap up everything in just 19 episodes and release the entire season in just one month. They knew that the viewership has been getting lower since the 7th episode of season 2. Every show has to maintain a considerable audience so that it could provide revenue from commercials and selling merchandise. Low viewership equals low audience interest, which equals low profits. I believe that they didn't really care about the general response or that they would cause a huge disappointment amongst all KionXFuli and KionXJasiri shippers. They were like "Whatever, that's no use! Let's finish this show as soon as possible and move on to the next one".
