First of all, Meredith was friends with Lydia -- genuinely friends. Didn't seem to stop her from putting Lydia on the list.

Secondly, that might not make sense, no. But Danny being friends with supernaturals could tie him to the plot. OR him being a part of the Benefactor scheme could tie him to the plot. (Or both -- if he was being coerced by Meredith or Brunsky somehow.) So that, right there, are three fairly simple and logical ways he could have fit in season 4.

And, of course Danny's always been secondary to a main character. He's a secondary character. But so are Sheriff Stilinski, Melissa McCall..... that's because they are secondary characters. But if Melissa had been gone all season with no mention or explanation, I don't think anybody would say that was acceptable. Heck, even Agent McCall was given an explanation for not being in just part of the season.
