Well, it just seems a too big a thing to overlook.
In that episode in 01 when Gennai was telling Izzy about digimon, he said all digimon can be broken into three groups - Vaccine, Virus and Data. If it was just something as trivial as blood type, like if the whole plot was turned around and someone was telling digimon that humans were broken down into four groups, type O, A, B and AB, then that would be a complete waste of time.
On the other hand, if the person explaining about the human world was referring to the three main types of human - Asian, European and African (just examples) then it would be a different story, but I can't really see differences between the digimon types. Most people don't even know that Wormon and Guilmon are virus types, and that's a big difference, we can identify types of humans instantly... hmm, maybe only the digimon can tell the difference, who knows?
