People have been building huge statues since the Bronze Age, so that's not the problem. It's that it's a landmark that commemorates something specific to the country on Earth that it sits in. Dropping it in Equestria brings that history with it, to a world that's fundamentally different. It doesn't fit in. As mentioned prior, though, I guess it's just cute visual shorthand that tells the viewer that we're somewhere that's meant to be analogous to New York. It's a cartoon, ultimately. Silly things happen.
