Getter Dragon came right after Getter 1, and after Great Mazinger did badly in sales I guess they realized it had to look distinct from its predecessor. Then you have many years without Getter and when it returns with Getter Go, all other designs aside from Gou (and then Neo) are homages to either the original Getter or Getter Dragon rather than trying something very different again.
As for it being evil... well, due to not being the main Getter design, it ends up being the Getter used by the villains during a lot Armageddon.
In the manga, an evolution of the Dragon, Saint Dragon (Kyodai Dragon in the New Getter anime), is shown ruling over a horrible future Ryoma sees where people are integrated into Getters, but that's just part of the whole mess of the future leading to Getter Emperor and you get plenty of Getters with designs closer to Getter 1 involved in that mess too, like Arc ending up with the team facing "Getter One" (Ten/Heaven) to stop the Emperor future, which is clearly more Getter 1 based, not Dragon.
