Like I said, this question i silly. The same thing can be asked about every chok in the Torah. What about a mamzer? How is it “fair” that a mamzer cannot marry a Yisroel? The answer is the same concept. It would be considered a “blemish” for klal yisroel to accept something that is not appealing to the average person, because most people cannot help but look at the product of such a union with a certain lack of respect, just like someone who is ugly or someone missing an arm. This is not an ideal, but is the way unfortunately most people are.
