Since Mage and Shaman are the only two classes that have Elemental synergy with other cards ("If you've played an elemental last turn...") my guess is that the Bogshaper needs that Race tag for those other cards to synergize with while Fen Creeper and Bog Creeper are meant for another class (I'm currently analyzing the Classic/Basic Hearthstone Set and so far Warlock uses Fen Creeper in it's MidRange Deck). Warlock doesn't need the Elemental tag for other cards to work.
That's also the reason why we have Nemsy Necrofizzle as a Warlock Hero since she sits on top of both Fen Creeper and Bog Creeper. But that's just my theory...
Considering WoW seems to have based them on Swamp Thing/Man Thing who are both Elementals of "The Green" in their perspective universe, I'd say they should certainly all be Elementals in this game. If you're going to pay homage, go all the way with it, instead of suiting it to your purpose.
According to Wowpedia, Bog beasts are large plant creatures often found in temperate marshes of Azeroth. They look like swamp monsters. Unlike animals, they reproduce by seeds.
Elementals are manifestations of volatile energy - elemental spirits that have attained raw physical form with the spirit remaining as the core.
I would like someone from reddit to publish a table of tribes of the cards they should have or remove.
I think they should all be elementals.

Just realized that Bogshaper is a bog beast like Fen Creeper and Bog Creeper and those 2 aren't elementals, so why Bogshaper is an elemental?
Don't forget about Loatheb.
IMHO they all should be elementals.
Yeah it is weird because they removed Ixlid, Fungal Lord's elemental tag even thou it is described as an "an ancient earth elemental spirit animating some of the rot and decay in the swampier parts of the catacombs" (https://twitter.com/LegendaryFerret/status/936152925537296385)
Good ol' Hearthstone consistency

By that logic all treants should be elementals. Which would be fine by me.
why not?
