The simplest reason is it's a QUICK way to make a Mary Sue, by putting your character in with a canon one. Like I said, there are several cases in which I personally can excuse it (actual development in a relationship with the character over the course of the story is one, cloning, where they are but are not that same canon character, is another, etc etc), but as of the moment of creation, this fit neither of the criteria, it just said he fell in love with Mirajane, which set off a dozen of alarm bells. Additionally, the rule isn't of my own design, so this is a case where I can also say I don't create the rules mate, I just act on 'em.
