They simply just created a card to go into Hunter deck that has DK and can last into the late game. If you've ever played Hunter DK, you know that drawing minions late game is busted because you are creating them with the hero power. So you need something that can support this. Two good hunter companions is good at 6 mana.
I get what you're saying, but the problem is that your DK card could be in the bottom half of your deck, so you can't build a (Hunter) deck around being the DK. Also, usually Hunter DK decks have a lot of cheap minions to put early pressure on, and the DK acts as your late-game card draw/big minion generator. You wouldn't run a few minions in the DK deck... you just cheap ones and the DK hero power will give you all the high-cost minions you want.
As to the OP, nothing is happening to Animal Companion. Definitely not after this card, as they wouldn't refer to a Wild-only card in a Standard card. Moving Savannah Highmane to Hall of Fame makes sense in a vacuum, as it literally is the best class non-legendary minion in the game (Tirion being the class card I am thinking of). The problem is that Hunter will suck without it, it carries the class... Now, the argument could be made that the existence of Highmane is what is preventing Hunter from having strong cards being printed, and that would be a valid point. Up to Blizzard to decide how they want to go forward with the class.

With a requirement like this, two Good hunter companions would be good at 4 or 5 mana. If I wanted two animal companions, I’d just play the card twice and still have minions in my deck.

1. Obviously no, but your question makes no sense. What is the logic behind it?
2. No. Again, your question makes no sense.
3. I really doubt it, at least for now.
What... are... you... talking... about?
I dont belive that, the class is bad with that cards, imagine hunter without those cards
