You're confusing user space with article space. User pages are *not* the distributable free content encyclopedia. User pages are part of the framework which builds the distributable free content encyclopedia.
There is a perfectly reasonable goal of avoiding fair use images in *articles*, wherever possible. As I understand it, we also remove most Fair Use images from user pages because we normally don't have any decent Fair Use rationale for using them there. However, as a parody, we do have a rationale for the AYB image.
It's a good thing to keep a few fun things on Wikipedia outside of the article space. It's a good thing to be wary of fair use images. It's a bad thing to delete humour because of misplaced "fair use" political correctness.
They all get bundled together in the downloads, though.
