Why did they kill Mistlands?

It was a cool looking place and fun to build bases in and they ripped out the assets. Not pleased with this. Add content, don't remove it.

...there are people in this world afraid of their own shadows, should they be removed too?

This isn't supposed to be a historically accurate viking game, enjoy it for what it is.

Im sure someone will make a mod that turns the spiders into little pink unicorns or something... Anyhow sorry for your fear, but the game shouldn't be altered just because a very small percentage of players might have a fear of something in real life.

Mods in a game that is under development are subject to break at every turn, and this is something people using mods need to understand and accept.

The devs have zero responsibility to keep mods working while they work on the game.

100% agreed.

The Mistlands area I'd discovered and explored prior to this latest update still has trees and cobwebs -- a lot -more- of the latter than they used to, too. Very creepy-looking.

This might actually be the fastest way to get new biom content out. Sometimes its better to start over and redesign something than try to get something old working that you just threw together when you didn't really know what your were doing.

As you pointed out the Mistlands looked awesome but from a programmers point of view it might have turned out to be an incredibly bad biom design. So instead of wasting time trying to get the monster AI to work in the old Mistlands they are going to change the Mistlands so the existing AI works in it.

IG will probably reuse the old terrain assets so it will look very similare to the old biom. Or it might be something completely new that was created to work with what they already have in the game.,

they will add a new biom... they just placed stuff so it would be easier to implant it later on... same will happen with Deep North and that fire place :D

Don't read the news? They're actively working on the mistlands as the next biome right now. All the previous "content" (cmon, it was just spooky trees and spider webs) was a placeholder.
