Because "types" is not only redundant, but nonsensical. Physical and Elemental Damage is the name given to a collection of damage types. As a collection it is one thing and should be described as such.

For example - cars, motorbikes and trucks are all types of vehicles. But if you were to put them under a heading, that heading would be "Vehciles" and not "Vehicle Types". We simply don't attach the word "types" to every collection.

Apart from that both sections suffered from the grammatical problems of "subject+verb disagreement" because the authors were unsure of whether to refer to these as singular or plural. "Types" implies plural, but it being a collection makes it singular. The new versions of the pages does away with grammatical errors, is more readable and less confusing.
