That was one thing that frustrated me (though I should not have been reading them in my mid20s to be fair - I was in a pissing contest with my little brother over whether WoT or animorphs were better, and the latter gave me something new each month while waiting for WoT to come out) about this series: the Yerk war was only there to add suspense and conflict and an actual purpose for kids to turn into animals, but in hindsight, it kind of overshadowed the original hook, to the point where it was like, screw the animals! Go with Hork-Bajir and Andalite forms!
