Maybe [Blackbeard] could get rid of the 5 stars elders
Now that would be cool, and totally unexpected, though not very beneficial to Dragon's character definition.

Bad writting? The main reason the Gorōsei exist is to, eventual, explain the history of the world. Besides that, though, there is no real need to develop them any more than they have been. If Oda can find a way to explore the history without the Gorōsei, then by all means he should, otherwise, yes the Gorōsei are needed.

(The main harm that would come from destroying the Gorōsei so early would be the negative character development to Dragon.)
