Harle likes Sindel and would rather see her on top than Kitana. A bit of fanboyism perhaps, but everyone wants to see their favourite characters rise above the others.
However, I agree with you that Kitana was a good ruler and warchief of Edenia in the old timeline. Sindel has experience on her side, but she already failed as a ruler when Shao Kahn took over Edenia and merged it with Outworld. I would prefer to see Kitana on the throne.

Why Kitana is a terrible ruler of Edenia?
She nearly crushed Kahn's forces, leading to his escape from his own fortress. And we talking old good megalomaniac nearly invincible Shao Kahn here.
Her death at the hands of DA wasn't actually her fault as the subsequent invasion of Onaga. There is actually nothing that made her a bad ruler.
Hm, I protect Kitana, though I am not really big fan of her. Funny, how the things turned out.

If you ask me, Kitana is a terrible ruler of Edenia and has much less purpose in the series than Sindel, and Kahn is the tired villain who needs to be replaced in a series that has never had a main female villain.

Less fanboyism and more of a strong dislike of Kitana. I don't even want Sindel's story to continue with her as just the Queen of Edenia... I've said before that my wishes for Sindel are for some kind of weird spirit journey sort of thing in the afterlife with Nightwolf that transforms her entirely once she completes it but... That's a tale for another time! I just don't like Kitana because she's too standard. She's about as complex as putting on your socks (though, admittedly, I have put socks on inside out before). Putting her in the leadership role demotes her even further, it basically determines exactly what she's going to do in any and all situations, something that would not happen to a more dynamic character (not necessarily Sindel, but definitely not Kitana).

She'd be like the constellation Cancer. Yes, the crab tried to stop the slaughter of all his animal friends, but alas, poor crab was stepped on and killed. In honor of his sacrifice, he was made a constellation!

I don't think Elder God status is in the cards for Sindel...

A spiritual journey for Sindel with Nightwolf's spirit as the guide would be a nice storyline twist for the both of them.
As Kitana is now, she is indeed standard, but she like Sindel have room to grow and become something more, especially now in this new timeline. Putting Sindel on the throne and have Kitana just be princess would just be stale though and wouldn't help any of the characters.
