I don't know why you think 'they' don't like to see old ratings with restrictions on them; after all, we weren't born with a 787 type rating and 'they' know everyone started somewhere. So long as you have the appropriate qualifications then you're able to apply and 'they' are really only interested in what you can do now and your experience level. There are many and varied pilots within AJX and a corresponding collection of aircraft types and experience, including 'oldies' like the B727 and DC8.
Personally, I'd leave it how it is but if you're really determined to remove a type from your licence, just contact the FAA and ask them to do it (I say FAA as you give your location as USA). Getting something removed is a lot easier than getting it added
