Also, why bringing Emma, who already got her happy ending, back, and not bringing Regina, who didn't got it? The simple answer is that I don't like Regina ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I also just didn't see nay room for her in this season.

The more complex-ish answer is that given that the de-curse (?) at the end of 3A undid everything, it also undid the adoption (which if you want to be technical, wasn't legal to begin with), therefore making him legally Henry Swan.
