That is a very good question.
I DO use melee minions with fiends on my MM. The reason being that melee minions and heroes/henchies help to form a wall to hold up the monsters while MoP does its magic.
The other reason is energy availability. The MM doesn't always have 25e to spare for creating a fiend whenever an available corpse shows up. If you only have fiends, then the MM would have to wait for the required energy before he is able to exploit that corpse. In the midst of all that, the MM can cast other skills like Protective Spirit or Aegis. This means it maybe a while before the MM has the required energy. Fiends dont die that often since they are in the backlines, so they also dont contribute as much to soul reaping compared to MM bombers with cheap bone minions.
If they have a way to exploit available corpse with lesser energy, they should. In my screenshot, I also used vampiric horrors although they dont last as long as fiends. They are still useful as tanks, nonetheless.
