Going to agree with Ridley here, Rosalina got more characterization and history in two games than Peach did in her entire main series history. Not counting spin-offs such as SMRPG and Paper Mario, of course. She's probably one of the more interesting Mario characters, by which I mean she actually has a character to a degree.
It's not as if she stole a slot from someone else; we have no way of knowing who is even considered. If you think of her as a replacement for some other character, yeah, I can see not liking this. I prefer to think of this as adding to the roster, though.
