Peashooter and Primal Peashooter aren't the same character. They may be the same character in-universe from different time periods, but that's like saying "SpongeBob in caveman times should be in the same article as modern day SpongeBob because they're the same in-universe entity but from different time periods!"

As for the Knight clones/variants/whatever, they're moreso "clones" than "variants," which therefore means they're not the same zombie. It's more of a "we're too lazy to make an original zombie, so we'll rehash this zombie" situation than a "it's a variant of a zombie we must include here because it's on our contract" situation. Besides, no one calls them their internal names in practice, and merging them would either create a messy title or make it confusing for people who want to edit or look up information.

It's not even that PopCap revised the plant arbitrarily. They did it because PvZ1 Cactus was so uncreative and without any legitimate purpose in the sequel, is useless, effectively forcing them to redo the plant. It would also be redundant to discuss the differences between PvZ1 Cactus and PvZ2 Cactus on two different articles.
