We're having this for two reasons.
-
A coin toss often plays a huge part in the outcome of the match.
-
Because it's 50/50, it makes sure that some of the participants are definitely going to lose this prediction. If we have all six skill/strategy based predictions, the Jumbos and Bingos will be more normal a thing; which can kill the excitement about them.

Are you saying that the 'correct coin toss prediction' gives you 4 extra points?
The gap in points isn't only because the coin toss prediction. You only get a Jumbo when your all predictions are correct.
There are overall 6 predictions to make in every round.
If any 4 of your predictions are correct, you get 4 runs, the difference occurs when the 5th one goes correct, instead of 5 points, you get 6 points.
And when all of your predictions are correct, instead of 6, you get 10 runs.
I understand what you're pointing to. It's a sudden jump from 6 to 10 points, for 5 correct to 6 correct predictions, which is a difference of 4 runs, it's huge gap.
But technically, we can only reduce it to 9 runs. If we reduce it to 8 runs, there's no difference between a Bingo and a Jumbo prediction.
A Bingo prediction gives you 1 extra run so, a Jumbo prediction should at least give you 2 extra runs.
Bingo= 6 runs
Jumbo= 6 + 1 + (3 extra runs for predicting all correct).
I hope you now understand, how much of maths, I had to apply behind all of this.
We can onl reduce it to 9 points for the sake of Jumbo's importance and distinction with Bingo.

Thanks. I appreciate your impression. However, I gave the point system a proper thought before applying and it's same for everyone.
I'm not gonna change it but surely we'll be seeing some other 'Bonus Run' question than 'the coin toss one' in some rounds.
