A way to explain it would be that the Highbreeds were so elusive and hostile, that Azmuth couldn't sample their DNA. But apart from this, if I was Ben (or the Omnitrix) I would have used other alien's DNA also if I had an Highbreed's sample: in fact, the cause of the Highbreed's ruin is their pride, their pointless will to "keep their race pure". Showing them that sanity comes from taking the best from all alien species is a great teaching to them and, allegorically, to us, if you allow a cartoon to teach something (and well, I do, all things considered).

Moreover, repairing the Highbreeds' DNA with their own would have solved their problem only for a while (ok, maybe a looong while!), since their species was almost exitinct.

All speculations, of course.

For point (2)... well, here we should really call Azmuth for a help!
