The rights holders are clearly uncomfortable with Delta and isn't willing to let it be the most recent representative of the franchise for 5+ years. Remember that every other Macross TV series had much larger gaps in between. They might even felt that the Delta toys and merchandise would have a lack of long term prospects, and needed them replaced early.
They could simply decide that the new show's idol would be voiced by a veteran instead of a no-name.

Let's hope they are perceiving it that way, which means we might get a better product in the end and more than we bargained for.
Secondly, I really don't mind them going with a seiyuu and a singer that's picked from existing artists pool whether old and new. Maybe we'll be able to get away from having three consecutive female leads in the same mold (not saying Ranka and Freyja are clones of each other)
