Un... ethical?
MP games could have agreed-upon rules that prevent it, I suppose, but I don't think rules against troop-type mixing are at all common. Mix elephants with slower, high-morale units to pump up the average morale of tramplers. Mix big units (giants, bandars) with tiny units (vaetti, markata, hoburgs) to give more targets per square and increase the survivability of the big dudes. Mix shielded units with offensive (zweihanders, say) units to up the chances of getting through missiles or spells with enough punch to crack through tough screens.
If you think certain tactics give you too much advantage against the AI and using them makes SP unfun, by all means don't use them, but it's worth understanding the mechanics that make those tactics valuable under the right circumstances.
