Some hybrids don't show they are....untill a few generations later.
The frogs that are in the hobby, won't necesseraly be introduced from the wild again.
So polluting the bloodlines may cause losing a pure species in captivity all together.

Why pacmans are crossbred? No idea, maybe just because a new color will get more money or something?
The Fantasy frogs are invertile as well, so why bother anyway?

I think crossbreeding isn't always in the best interest of the animal,
more for human enjoyment or economical purpose.
Why breeding snakes with the weirdest colors that can't even move properly anymore,
or bearded dragond, so called "leather backs".
They miss the scales on the back, not a wise choice for a species that need to sunbath.

Mixed breeds of dog, and mixed breeds of cat, not cat and dog together!

The word polluting implies that one of the species is inferior

Did you mean infertile? Odds are there will be a pair that are fertile born at some point..

Mixing can create an animal with superior traits than it's parents.
In humans trying to keep bloodlines free from novel traits creates disease and insanity :P something the royalty of europe and the nazis never thought about. I personally think the most beautiful women are the offspring of an asian and a caucasian

Again not giving practical help, just an argument for the principle of mixed breeding
