Which Holy Beasts looks like a girl?

But a female Baihumon or Zhuqiaomon why not ^.^

Ah, Tiamat, it's already been explained that the four gods are most definately males. And second, just having Baihumon or Zhuqiaomon be female for no reason would be on par with writing a story and making Jesus Christ a girl. Bai Hu and Zhu Qiao are gods in a few different religions, but are best known by their Shinto names of Byako and Suzaku. There are millions of people who believe these gods are real, and it would insult some of them to say 'Baihumon is a girl because I said so' as Baihumon is based one of their gods.

Technically, having Huanglongmon act like a roman god and turn one of the four gods into a girl may be out of character for the religion and could be seen as an insult as well. I'm not very well versed in Eastern religions. ^^; I know a little bit of the four directional guardian gods, but not the center god.

Then again, Toei has insulted Greek and Norse mythology by making Sylphimon and Valkyrimon male. Both are very much female only in their respective religions.
