There was absolutely no reason for Douglas to be part lion. It had no effect on the story, and I believe Jackson retaining his kanima traits is another instance of that. RE:Löwenmench The Dreads dealt with natural and supernatural chimera. While they didn't do anything "cool" with Löwenmench (besides the aforementioned skull biting) it's all connected and matches up within the story. The DDs used Douglas to extend their life span. That could've been done without turning him into a lion. For most of Douglas' time on the show, we only knew him as a nazi alpha werewolf. With werewolves aging differently than humans, no one was questioning the fact that an alpha could extend their lives. Douglas being a Löwenmench had no significant impact on the plot, and it was unnecessary imo. But he also was contaminated with the Ghost Riders power when he got whipped by one of them. I am sure that had something to do with the DD taking him prisoner. Also the fact he was part lion and part wolf might also have interested them and influanced their work.
