I think it's to create balance between Digimon so that no one type can be stronger than the rest.
If you've played the game "Eternal Darkness," you'll know that there's three "Ancients" who harbor a color: Red, Green, and Blue. Red (strength) beats Green (mind), Green beats Blue (magic), and Blue beats Red. As long as nothing interfered with them, they would remain in harmonious balance (till that stupid Roman had to go sneaking in the temple...) There's also the fourth Ancient, who is Purple. He has no significant strengths or drawbacks against the three. This could classify as the fourth type of Digimon, for example, Azulongmon and the like.
As for the digidestined Digimon, "Virus" is normally treated as bad, and I don't think they would want a "bad guy" in the hero team.
