The reasoning behind not having the final fight was that they don't want to have the fight in the seventh be rehash and stuff people will see and go "We've seen this before" which I actually do understand, because while they come off differently in the books, battle tends to look the same in movies, and they want to save the Hogwarts stage for the finale.
I missed the battle and seeing the Order again, but from a film-maker standpoint the reason does make sense.
