Maybe the spirits think the avatar failed humanity because the air nomads are slowly going extinct. The airbender bloodline will get thinner with every succeeding generation until eventually no more airbenders and by extension, no more avatar. Without an avatar to govern mankind, they will eternally wage war with each other. The spirits could be trying to take away the bending arts to keep mankind from killing itself off once the avatar is gone in three generations.
