I mean just because SCII went in a different angle doesn't mean that I didn't spend years looking forward to SCII because of that little taste. Really I think without that there would have been more bile than there already was, it helped establish continuity. I think doing something similar with the UED, especially since they've already been established, would be a good thing to keep the community hype from falling off.

I was specifically referring to the situation in Evolution. Having a human there to talk to Valerian and the Dominion, especially one who seemed to be on friendly terms with the Dominion given his banter in the epilogue and good relations with Raynor, would have been a huge boon. Hell Artanis was the one to try to save him and helped him retain his sentience, which would at least give some common ground for the Daelaam. Stukov wasn't designed for that, and I doubt Zagara would make infested terrans for that situation, but if they have a sentient infested terran aware of the little nuances of human diplomacy to help diffuse the tension then you'd expect them to be there. But like I said, that and Heroes seems to indicate that Stukov and the infested are off on their own.
