There's obvious reasons for creating a taxonomy of living things, and grouping together organisms that can reproduce is a sensible category that makes a meaningful distinction.

It 'species' could work that way it would be a much more useful tool than it is in many of the problems it creates these days.
Raising issues around the 'species problem' does not equate with suggesting that we ignore how breeding/interbreeding constraints affect the evolution of lifeform.
I'm not sure you're aware that 'species' does not start or stop at 'can fertilely breed' ??
