Don't worry. Many WH40K fans flat out ignore the existence of the new lore, because it, as you said, removes things that some people love about it. The new lore is seen as an outright blasphemy to the WH40K universe and it is widely hated.

They were removed because many people did not like them and requested their removal. In addition, Mr. Ward did not like them either, so it was a win-win situation. This removal took place about half a year ago in 2011. Of course, the articles about the two now removed races still exist because the writers of the Wikia want to expand upon the old lore, which 90% of the fans follow.

If you want to follow the new lore, just ignore every mention of Necron or Tyranid related thing you see; the ONLY people who follow the new lore are the ones who never liked "dem metal boyz" or the "vile Tyranids"... for example, me. If you liked the old universe, stick to the old version and ignore all "updates" that GW makes to the WH40K universe.
