SO, if Dolphin + Human = Beastaility, then Dragon + Human = Beastaility. Neither have the matching organs to make it possible, but at least Dolphins are mammals.
The thing is, dragons aren't dolphins. Dragons in FFXIV have brains on par with humans. They have culture, government, a standardized language. They have ideals (the dragons siding with Iceheart to stop the war, versus the ones fighting Ishgard with the horde). Dragons are the same as beastmen, they just look a lot more beastly.
